What I've Built

Active Autonomous Agent

Alpaca RAG Trader

Autonomous paper trading agent combining RAG with live market data. Ingests 6,900+ chunks from investing books into ChromaDB, reasons via Claude Sonnet, and executes trades through Alpaca's brokerage API with risk guardrails.

How I Work With AI

My development environment is built around Claude Code with a structured agent hierarchy, custom skills, and autonomous remote execution — so agents keep working even when my laptop is closed.

DigitalOcean Remote Execution

Claude Code runs on a DigitalOcean droplet so agents execute autonomously around the clock — no laptop required. The Alpaca RAG Trader fires at market open daily, the Moltbook scraper runs at noon UTC. Zero babysitting.

gstack Skills

Pulled and extended gstack's engineering workflow skills — ship, investigate, review, qa, and cso — for structured, repeatable dev cycles inside Claude Code.

Custom Skills

test-until-done runs tests, auto-fixes failures, and never declares done until the suite is green (up to 10 iterations). localhost-verify opens Chrome and visually validates UI changes without me lifting a finger.

Worktrees for Isolation

Multiple git worktrees keep concurrent agent contexts isolated — each worktree has its own launch config, permissions, and dev server. No context bleeding between projects.

Who I Am

Fisher Fraley

I'm a senior CS student at Cal Poly SLO graduating in June 2026. I build full-stack AI products and spend a lot of time thinking about the gap between what engineers ship and what customers actually need — which is why I gravitate toward roles where I'm in the room with both.

I've run 40+ customer discovery interviews for Nomi, sold SaaS automation tools at Trestle, and built autonomous agents that run 24/7 on DigitalOcean. I like working at companies where "technical" and "customer-facing" aren't separate jobs.

Starting as a Jr. AI Solutions Engineer at Kana AI in April 2026 — part-time while I finish my degree, full-time June 22nd.
