An experimental LLM and retrieval-augmented generation system combining cryptocurrency information, AI interaction, external data, and automated trading components.
This prototype explored how large language models and retrieval-augmented generation could be combined with cryptocurrency information and an automated trading component. The concept was intended to make market information easier to query through an AI-driven interface while also exploring how LLM-based systems could interact with external data and application logic.
LLM & RAG Architecture
The project incorporated LLM and retrieval concepts so the system could work with external information instead of relying only on a model’s built-in knowledge. This provided hands-on exposure to retrieval pipelines, context handling, model integration, and the surrounding application architecture.
Application Shell & Integration
My work focused primarily on portions of the application shell, configuration, integration, and understanding how the system components fit together. I was not the primary developer of the core trading logic or the underlying model technology.
Lightweight Model Testing
I also configured and tested smaller language models, gaining practical experience with deployment considerations, resource requirements, model behavior, and the tradeoffs involved in running AI systems outside of a fully managed platform.

Prototype Evaluation
The project was ultimately discontinued after evaluating the development effort, operating cost, maintenance requirements, and whether continued investment made sense relative to rapidly advancing commercial AI platforms. The experience was still valuable as a technical prototype and provided direct exposure to the practical complexity behind maintaining an AI-enabled application.
What the Project Demonstrates
The project represents hands-on learning across LLM integration, RAG concepts, smaller model deployment, application architecture, AI-enabled interfaces, and the practical decision-making involved in determining whether a prototype is worth continuing into production.
This project demonstrates a practical AI-assisted administration and knowledge system built around real files, documents, trackers, recurring responsibilities, research, and day-to-day workflows. The goal is to move beyond using AI only as a chat interface and instead organize information so an assistant can work with useful context, repeatable processes, and structured systems.
Assistant & Administrative Workflows
AI-assisted workflows support research, planning, document creation, reminders, recurring tasks, project follow-up, and administrative work while keeping the user in control of the underlying information and decisions.
Structured Knowledge Systems
Google Drive, documents, spreadsheets, trackers, and reference material are organized into a clearer knowledge structure so relevant information can be located, interpreted, updated, and reused more efficiently.
Automation & Monitoring
Repeatable workflows can include scheduled tasks, reminders, monitoring, status checks, reports, and multi-step research or document processes designed to reduce repetitive manual work.

AI Assistant & Knowledge System — Concept Interface — AI-generated illustrative mockup showing how structured knowledge, recurring workflows, research, and human review can come together in a single administrative workspace. This is a portfolio visualization, not a screenshot of private data.
Applied AI Rather Than a Standalone Chatbot
The system is designed around how the person actually works: what information they maintain, what tasks repeat, what needs review, and where time is being lost. AI becomes one component in a larger operating structure rather than a separate tool that has to be prompted from scratch every time.
Privacy-Aware Demonstration
Portfolio visuals use sanitized, illustrative structures rather than exposing private documents, account information, or personal records. The emphasis is on system design, workflow architecture, and practical implementation.
Administration and support of classroom AV, VoIP communications, digital signage, and network-connected video systems across shared technology environments.

ScopeAV, Communications & Connected Systems
PlatformsAV Control · VoIP/PBX · Digital Signage · Video Systems
Modern IT environments extend beyond servers and workstations to include classroom presentation systems, phones, digital displays, and network-connected video equipment. This project highlights administration and monitoring across several technology platforms commonly used to support classrooms, offices, events, shared spaces, and day-to-day institutional operations.
Classroom AV & Presentation
Centralized AV controls provide visibility into displays, projectors, audio systems, microphones, room computers, cameras, input sources, and connected devices. Monitoring system health and routing helps keep classrooms and event spaces ready for daily use.
Communications & Telephony
VoIP and PBX administration brings together extensions, phones, trunks, call routing, queues, voicemail, and system status. Centralized management helps support reliable internal and external communications while simplifying troubleshooting and configuration.
Digital & Connected Systems
Digital signage and network-connected video systems extend IT support into shared displays, scheduled content, cameras, recording devices, and other connected technology. Central dashboards make it easier to monitor device health, availability, and operational status across multiple locations.

Supporting these systems requires a combination of networking knowledge, hardware troubleshooting, software administration, and user support. Familiarity with AV, communications, signage, and connected-device platforms helps bridge traditional IT infrastructure with the technology people rely on throughout classrooms, offices, and shared spaces.
