Jessey Baraka
Charo
Building a public transparency engine that surfaces where institutional money converges — so everyday investors see the same signals.
The Problem
Public filings. Buried signals.
Congress trades, hedge fund 13F holdings, and index fund N-PORT compositions are public by law — but scattered across government portals in formats that favor institutional access. The Insider Index pulls it all into one convergence engine so retail investors see what smart money sees, without a Bloomberg terminal.
How I Build
Backend-first
API contracts and data pipelines before any UI.
Auditable by default
Every endpoint rate-limited, validated, logged — no PII.
Ship in public
Production deploys are the feedback loop.
Simple beats clever
No abstractions until the third repetition.
Why This Matters
“The people these disclosures are meant to protect are the last to see them.”
Congressional and hedge fund disclosures sit in PDFs, SGML feeds, and inconsistent government portals. TII closes that information gap.
Proof of Execution
Full-stack Next.js 16 — 50+ API routes, tiered entitlements, live SEC & Congressional data pipelines.
Native SwiftUI — Apple/Google OAuth, StoreKit subscriptions, APNs push notifications.
16-agent adversarial audit — sessions, RLS policies, trust boundaries, PII handling.
Five live providers — Alpha Vantage, FMP, Massive, QuiverQuant, Google Gemini — with circuit breakers.
Sole engineer — design, backend, iOS, infrastructure, deployment.
