Projects
Carried Interest Excel Function (249 downloads)
This was an early project to have ChatGPT-3.5 create a custom Excel function to calculate carried interest in Excel.
Portfolio Manager (Work in Progress) (29 downloads)
This is a project that is in progress. It is a portfolio model to forecast cash flows and performance for a closed- or open-end real estate fund. Excel acts as the input and output screen with VBA (macros) acting as the engine that processes the inputs and generates the outputs.
Kryptos K4 Cryptanalysis NEW!
A systematic attack on K4, the unsolved 97-letter section of Jim Sanborn's Kryptos sculpture at CIA headquarters, run in October 2026 with a team of Claude agents. No solution yet, but roughly 180 experiments rule out every classic hand-cipher family, and the log documents one real statistical pattern in the letters of the word KRYPTOS. Code, notes and results are on GitHub.
