and portfolio.
Made by me.
This is the hub for most of my interests. Both creative and professional. From stocks to music to coding, if I like it, it will end up here.
Built this because renting can feel like walking in blind. Rate My Rent is my attempt to make the whole thing a little more honest and transparent.
who I am
Background
B.A in Economics and Software Design with a lot of side projects layered on top.
- Time split between code, writing, finance and music.
- I like to have idea's and act fast on them. When I think something's good, I want a prototype that day.
- I do projects and research because I enjoy it.
- Trying to stack skills that actually talk to each other.
Right now
- Build more creative apps or possibly a video game.
- Writing songs in multiple genres, trying to build out a EP/album.
- Learning markets by thinking in odds, time horizon, and risk instead of hot takes.
Long term: make an album, build an online business, work at a company I'm interested in, and buy Celtics tickets that are not in the last row.
builds
A mix of web apps, tools, and experiments. Some are polished, some are just sketches that might turn into something.
music & sessions
Mostly demos and ideas. Some turn into songs, some stay as late-night recordings. All of it is me figuring out what my sound is.
Latest track: “Erase My Mind”
Acoustic, sadder vibes for sure. I streamed the whole process.
Everything lives on YouTube for now. Longer term I want this to roll into a real project and a proper body of work.
Gear & process
- Mexi Fender Strat, Cheap bass, Launchkey.
- FL Studio with Addictive Drums, PianoTeq, and Amplitube doing most of the heavy lifting.
- Focusrite interface and SoundToys all you really need.
live & uploads
A pinned video and the latest upload. Mostly music or the process of it, may venture elsewhere. Check my Twitch for the latest.
Pinned video
The thing I want people to see first.
Latest upload
This slot stays pointed at whatever I dropped most recently.
stock picks & notes
Not financial advice. This is just how I’m currently thinking about a few names and how they fit into my own mix.
watchlist
| Ticker | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| AAPL | Long | Steady cash machine, long-term compounding energy. |
| RDDT | Spec | Chaos on the chart, but the community and data are wild. |
| NVDA | Long | Right in the middle of the compute and AI wave. |
| FIG | Spec | Design tool with a serious fan base and strong product story. |
| U | Spec | Real-time 3D across games, film, and more. |
| COST | Long | Membership and loyalty that is basically a lifestyle. |
| AMZN | Long | E-commerce, AWS, ads. Always hunting for the next pocket of growth. |
| AMD | Spec | Nice to have more than one serious chip name in the mix. |
| GS | Long | Keeps some classic finance exposure in the portfolio. |
| FXAIX | ETF | Simple S&P 500 anchor so everything isn’t single names. |
quick thoughts
- AAPL is my “sleep at night” pick. Boring in a good way, strong ecosystem, steady buybacks.
- NVDA and AMD are how I tap into the compute/AI story without pretending I can time every move.
- RDDT is noisy but interesting. Community plus data is a combo I keep watching.
- FIG and U are tools I actually like using, which always matters when I think long term.
- COST is the “everyone in your life shops here” trade. My family definitely does.
- AMZN feels like logistics and cloud infrastructure wrapped into one company.
- GS keeps me from being 100% tech-brained. Old-school finance still moves a lot of money.
- FXAIX is where I keep it simple and just ride the index.
- I’m small, still learning, and mostly focused on staying in the game, not calling tops and bottoms.
- If you invest, do your own research and pick what fits you, not me.
Visual Art
Visual experiments, cover ideas, and abstract stuff I make when I’m messing around. This space will fill with sketches, concepts, and anything that looks cool enough to share.
