Hi, my name is

Carles Gurdiel.

I build AI-powered software
& algorithmic trading systems.

I'm a 19-year-old full-stack developer based in Zürich, focused on finance + AI — from trading infrastructure to production web apps. I write clean, well-tested code and build with multi-agent AI.

Real-Time On-Chain Monitor

TypeScript · WebSockets

Streams Solana wallet activity in real time via Helius WebSockets and parses swaps (Raydium / Pump / Jupiter) with a balance-diff parser. Strict TypeScript, versioned migrations, fully observation / paper-only.

Solana DeFi Liquidation Bot

Scans lending protocols (MarginFi, Solend, Kamino) for under-collateralised positions and builds atomic liquidation transactions, with strict risk guards (dry-run, per-trade and daily-loss caps) and Pyth price feeds.

About Me

I'm Carles — a 19-year-old developer in Zürich. I build finance and AI systems, from algorithmic trading infrastructure to full-stack and self-hosted applications.

In a 6-month role at A+E Informatik I shipped 6 production applications — full-stack platforms, browser extensions and desktop tools. Alongside that, I build my own finance/AI projects to go deeper.

My focus is algorithmic trading(Forex / futures, MetaTrader) and AI-powered tools. I care about clean, tested code, rigorous validation, and clear communication. Trilingual: Spanish, German (C1), English.
