Growing enterprise AI adoption at Citi by day, doing my best to keep up at the frontier by night

About

Seventeen years in financial services — operations at BNP Paribas through 2008, an MBA at CMU Tepper, consulting at PwC, and now SVP at Citi.

In 2025 I went all in on AI and started shipping actual software: a restaurant cost tracker, a tournament bracket engine, an SEC filings pipeline. All built with Claude Code, including this site. The projects below are real, deployed, and mostly still running.

Projects

Things I built.

Mostly nights and weekends, mostly with Claude Code. A couple are running in the wild; a couple are pipelines that only ever needed to run once.

SousIQ

Express · React 19 · Postgres + pgvector · Claude

Live · field-tested in a working bakery

  • Parses vendor invoices into line items, then matches them to inventory products with embeddings + fuzzy search
  • Multi-tenant on Postgres row-level security; 5,437-item USDA reference set for grounding
  • Claude Haiku for parsing and detection, Sonnet for the harder passes

Bracketeer

Next 16 · Prisma 7 · Auth.js · Railway

Live · ran a real World Cup pool

  • Create a pool, invite friends, make bracket picks, watch a leaderboard update from live results
  • Knockout seeding follows FIFA Annex C — the tiebreak rules are genuinely gnarly
  • Started as a pool for friends, grew into a multi-tenant platform

Claude Code Placemat

Static HTML · GitHub Actions · scheduled agent

Maintains itself · MIT

  • A one-page reference for Claude Code: shortcuts, slash commands, flags, hooks, MCP
  • A scheduled agent re-reads the latest release every day and opens a PR when anything drifts
  • The interesting part is not the page — it is that nobody updates it by hand

#modm-0004/052026

modular-mind

Python · 10-stage pipeline

3,500+ patches · 269 module profiles

  • Builds a corpus of VCV Rack modular-synth patches, then generates new ones from learned patterns
  • Decodes the binary patch format, profiles each module, validates signal flow before emitting
  • Teaching a model what a patch that actually makes sound looks like

#prial-0005/052026

PRIAL Pipeline

Python · SEC bulk data

23,000+ firms from raw filings

  • Turns monthly SEC Form ADV bulk filings into a deduped registry of investment-adviser firms
  • Pulls officers from Schedule A/B and firm sites from Schedule D, then enriches with AUM growth
  • Mostly an exercise in wrangling government data that was never meant to be joined

Travel

Less box-checking, more discomfort on purpose. Travel built my tolerance for ambiguity and for solving problems other people's ways.

Hi — I'm Dom's AI assistant. Ask me about anything he's built (SousIQ, Bracketeer, the Claude Code Placemat), his writing, or the travel map.
