## Overview

ForgeX Trading lets traders practice strategies against historical market data, replaying charts and placing simulated orders before risking real money. I helped build the initial platform with Advay, turning the product vision into a working trading terminal and the data infrastructure behind it.

## Role and constraints

As Founding Full-Stack Engineer, I did most of the initial coding and made the technical architecture decisions. Advay led the product vision, and I helped him contribute to the code through his AI agents. My involvement ran from May through August 2026 and included migration support and developer onboarding to hand off the platform.

## Process

I built the initial application, core buy/sell functionality, and chart-history and replay behavior using Python, FastAPI, and React. Replay improvements included stable chart viewports, weekend context, chart synchronization, and journal refresh behavior.

For historical market data, I implemented QuestDB time-series storage, batched candle ingestion, and incremental synchronization. Gap-filling and recency updates extended the available history without repeatedly loading existing data. I also added database backup, restore, and candle-merging tooling, integrated multiple AI providers, and documented deployment.

## Result

The platform I helped establish now serves more than 150 users, as reported in my October 2026 resume. That adoption reflects the product's continued development after my initial work and handoff.
