Two years ago I thought the hard part would be writing trading algorithms.

I was wrong.

The hard part was building software that keeps working when real markets, real APIs, and real users get involved.

I built IMALI as a solo developer while driving Uber to fund development. There were plenty of nights where I'd spend hours chasing bugs after finishing a shift.

Along the way I ran more than 75,000 paper trades, tested with my own capital, and rebuilt large parts of the platform after watching early users struggle with the interface.
