About

Hi, I'm Braeden — a mechanical engineering student in LA, building software in the margins around markets, content, and AI tooling. The site you're reading is one of those margin projects; the rest of them sit a tab over from this one.

Right now most of my time goes to CapitolLens, a paper-traded strategy that turns Form 4 insider-buy clusters into entry signals (a cluster of MEDIUM-tier insider purchases, hold 180 days, no early exits). I'm also running a small content studio under @braehods on Instagram — two YouTube Shorts channels, one wholesome POV stories, one deadpan single-meme reactions — plus a handful of dev tools that keep the studio running: a Remotion-based shorts renderer and a Streamlit dashboard for backtesting meme formats.

I'm open to trading-desk internships, content collabs with people building in finance or AI, and roughly any conversation about what is actually working in algorithmic strategy or short-form right now. If any of that sounds like you, the link below is the friendliest way to reach me.
