About

From first principles to markets.

Physics trains you to break a hard problem down to first principles before you trust any answer you find. That habit is what pulled Krispin toward the problems he now finds most interesting — markets, companies, and how businesses actually work at scale.

An international student from Western Rwanda, he came to Amherst College to study physics and found that the instinct to solve real-world problems translates directly into business and finance.

Outside the classroom, he builds software products — treating each one as a working model of a real system, and a way to learn how businesses actually operate.

MarketCap

Problem. Following markets in real time usually means stitching together several separate tools — one for quotes, another for charts, another for portfolio math.

Built. A real-time stock-intelligence platform: a live market dashboard (indices, gainers/losers, news), sector performance views, interactive candlestick charts with multi-ticker comparison, a portfolio tracker with P&L, and an income estimator that projects investment growth with dividend reinvestment.

Outcome. 9 users to date.

Problem. Skincare advice is usually generic, not personalized to a person’s actual skin.

Building. An AI-powered skincare app: photo-based skin analysis, personalized product recommendations, and a retail locator.
