Verdict · Autonomous development control plane

A goal goes in; a verified, independently reviewed, receipted change comes out. Verdict plans a DAG, admits models, runs parallel workers with same-node failover, verifies ownership and checks, runs an independent review, then writes a tamper-evident receipt.

Project status: Credential-free demo with injected worker faults and a reroute to another model, ending in a verified receipt. It uses fixtures, not live providers.

Prediction Market SDK · Keeping market data in sync

Market feeds need more than an open connection. I built typed Kalshi API workflows, reusable order-book state, and WebSocket subscription and reconnect handling so applications can work with the data instead of rebuilding the plumbing.

Project status: Kalshi signing, order workflows, and market-data handling are tested. Polymarket signing and live-order safeguards are still limited.

Verdict Risk · Checking risk before action

Risk rules should be testable without placing a trade. This library separates drawdown, position, exposure, and sizing checks from storage and network calls, keeping each decision deterministic.

Project status: Property-based tests exercise the risk rules. This is a library of checks, not a trading system.
