Experiments

A record of the projects that did not become the main thing, but still mattered. Some were scratched. Some were suspended. All of them sharpened the next decision.

Cut cleanly

Scratched experiments

Projects that were explored, built, or validated far enough to teach something useful, then deliberately stopped.

01 Scratched
TURTLE

Hyperliquid perpetuals trading bot explored as a systematic crypto execution project. It reached strategy and implementation work, but never went live.

Automated trading needs evidence, monitoring, and risk controls before ambition.

02 MVP archived
WALLY

iPhone arbitrage deal finder built to spot resale opportunities and surface profitable listings. The MVP worked, but was not worth pushing into deployment.

It clarified the difference between a clever scraper and a durable product with repeatable edge.

03 Stopped early
zOOm

Meeting and productivity idea investigated before build momentum took over. Existing tools already solved enough of the problem.

The best engineering decision was not to build. Research beat sunk cost.

04 Superseded
IRIS

Early SAP Business One MCP-first direction that helped shape thinking around ERP-connected agents before ARGUS became the stronger path.

The idea did not disappear. It got absorbed into stronger patterns around support, retrieval, and business-system context.

THE MONITOR

Human-AI collaboration portfolio platform that explored how to make process, iteration, and agent collaboration visible as proof of work.

Parts of the thesis survived here: the portfolio should show judgment and collaboration, not just finished screenshots.

Held deliberately

Suspended or paused projects

Projects that were real enough to preserve, but not right to keep active right now.

01 Suspended
HUNTER / CULLD

Agent-native recruiting MCP server and portal concept for candidates, recruiters, companies, and academic institutions. Built around structured profiles, verification, and AI-assisted matching.

The matching and verification ideas were strong, but the hackathon push was cancelled and focus moved back to higher-priority work.

Recruiting MCP Verification
02 Paused
CISCO

Polymarket BTC 15-minute Up/Down trading bot that ran live for roughly a week before being paused with data preserved.

Live trading systems need stronger strategy evidence, monitoring, and operational confidence before they deserve more capital or attention.

03 Paused
VIBE

Polymarket BTC 5-minute trading bot explored as a faster market variant after CISCO. Services were stopped and the data was preserved.

Faster markets do not automatically mean better opportunity. The shorter loop increased noise and reinforced the need for stricter validation.
