quantlab

quantlab landing page: test the wildest trading idea you have, in plain english, above the strategy input box

takes a trading idea written in plain english and backtests it. the llm compiles the idea into a typed strategy dsl, and a typescript engine simulates every trade with slippage, a monte carlo bootstrap, and an out-of-sample split.

home-server

home server dashboard at ankit.casa: weather and raspberry pi stats in the left rail, monitored services with green status checks in the middle, and the lede news summary on the right

a dozen docker services on a raspberry pi 5, with a mac studio beside it serving the local model they all call: one push to main redeploys the fleet in about five minutes, with caddy and tailscale in front and weekly backups to a separate machine.

menu

guest menu coffee tab: current pour-over beans up top, then americano, cortado, and latte drawn as cup cross-sections, with syrups, cold foam, and tea below

a static site with no backend and no api key: a google sheet is the entire database, and one checkbox unticked from a phone cascades through every drink that uses it.

visual-orchestra

a live subagent board for pi. every running task agent at a glance: what it's doing right now, plus turns, tokens, and model. opens on demand mid-turn, while everything is still running.

account-pool-mcp

an mcp server for automating e2e tests: it leases test accounts to parallel agent sessions, so two sessions never end up logged into the same account. allocation happens in an atomic sqlite transaction, leases expire on a ttl, and crashed sessions get reclaimed on their own. published on npm.

lift-lens

a mac app that reads joint positions from a lifting video, checks your squat, bench, or deadlift against form benchmarks, flags issues like lumbar rounding at the bottom, and writes an llm coaching prompt from what it finds.

daal

an open-source custom mechanical keyboard, built as a group-buy collab: cnc 6063 aluminum case, plateless o-ring mount, uncoated brass weight, and an rp2040 pcb running qmk/vial. case by hali, pcb by sleepdealer.
