Personal homepage / assorted evidence

Hi, I’m Alvin.

I study economics, make market tools, and have spent a surprising amount of time backstage.

Currently in here:law, economics, concerts, a music video, Atlantic City, and several browser tabs that became projects.

A change of subject

I started in law.
That did not last.

Economics made more sense, so I moved over. It gave me a useful way to ask why people, businesses, and markets do what they do.

No dramatic pivot.
Just a different course.

Concerts & events

Meanwhile, behind the stage…

At some point, I started working behind concerts and events. Different venue. Different crowd. Same last-minute chaos.

One slightly odd detour

I also ended up as an extra in a music video.

No larger explanation. That just happened.

Atlantic City, USA

Work, long walks, then the laptop.

I went to Atlantic City for Work & Travel. Most days involved shifts, walking to work, and trying to stay awake long enough to open my laptop afterward.

Markets & systems

I kept asking why markets moved the way they did.

Eventually, answering the questions manually became annoying. So I started building systems.

A few scripts became dashboards, reports, and working tools. They live separately from this page.
