I'm a Chartered Accountant working across valuation, transaction support, and audit. Most of my work is around understanding how businesses actually operate, how decisions show up financially, and what really drives value over time.

Lately, I've been getting drawn towards building stuff. I find myself noticing things that feel inefficient or unnecessarily complicated and thinking about how they could be done better, and then wanting to actually try and build it out.

NSE Historical Data

Stock Data Compiler
concept

I built a small bot and hosted it on Vercel because I needed it myself and ended up making it as a bit of a pastime. Pulling historical stock data from NSE India was way more tedious than it should be, especially with the 1-year download limit. This just fixes that, you enter a stock and date range, and it gives you a clean Excel with all the data. No stitching files together, no extra effort, just gets it done.
