Things I have built

Research tooling, internal applications for organizations without dedicated software teams, and open-source Python libraries for public data.

The 100% threshold

Money supply growth does not raise consumer prices below 100% debt to GDP, and does above it. Regime-conditional regressions on 1,891 weekly FRED observations, a Fed reaction function, Monte Carlo simulation, and 17 robustness checks.

Applications

Working farm

Edgewater Farm database and field app

A legacy Access database migrated to MySQL, plus a progressive web app with two interfaces: simple capture flows for the crew, denser admin screens for the office.

  • MySQL
  • FastAPI
  • SQLAlchemy
  • HTMX
  • Tailwind
 Independent school

Financial Edge Connector

Faculty get a Google-authenticated, readable view of their own budget lines, pulled from the school's accounting platform through its API.

  • Flask
  • OAuth
  • REST
  • Oracle Cloud

Open-source tools

Python libraries

fred-loader and census-loader

Readable naming layers over two federal data APIs, with discovery helpers for finding a series interactively rather than looking up its code in documentation.

  • API design
  • pandas

Additional code and smaller projects are on GitHub.
