A note from the author

Curiosity, with
some code attached.

I’m Ahmed. Boundary is where I follow questions far enough to build something.

I’ve been in the investment space since the age of 14, and with a background in computer science, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to automate different parts of it with various tools and systems.

I first started out trying to build complete cohort analyzers using just Python. But around 2020, with the rapid rise of AI, I became hyper-focused on using agentic systems to do the work instead.

Follow along to see all the weird things I’ve been building and breaking.

Maybe someday, I’ll break the stock market :)

The Seven Realms are a way of organizing that journey. Each realm follows a research interest; each chapter tells the story of a project, with its code alongside it when it’s ready to share.

The chapters are written by me and edited by my sister. I try to write them less like traditional research papers and more like a fantasy journey through the Seven Realms. All the awesome content is mine, all grammar mistakes are my sister’s.

The quickest way to reach me is a message on LinkedIn.

A little further,
one chapter at a time.

The path here

  1. Age 14

    Started in the investment space.

  2. Undergrad

    Computer science. Began automating the parts of investing I found tedious.

  3. Pre-2020

    Built cohort analyzers in plain Python. Learned how much of research is plumbing.

  4. 2020

    Went hyper-focused on agentic systems doing the work instead.

  5. Now

    Boundary. Agents, semantic databases, quantitative trading, and everything in between.
