FinSyntax Labs is where I publish the real things — guides, breakdowns, and notes built at the intersection of finance and software. No fluff. If it's here, I use it.

Built in the Open

Every tool here is documented publicly on YouTube — real builds, real decisions, no manufactured polish.

✓

Actually Used

Nothing gets published here that I don't use myself. If it's here, it passed the daily-use test first.

⬡

No Hype, No Promises

Content is what it is. Titles say what's inside. If something's unfinished, it's marked unfinished.

What I've Figured Out
so far.

Five guides. All free. Everything I actually use or built.

AI Setup Workflow

NotebookLM for Students

A setup guide and prompt starter pack for using NotebookLM in your actual CA and Commerce study workflow — no fluff, just what works.

Core Knowledge

Prompt Engineering Basics

How LLMs actually work, the 6 components of a good prompt, advanced techniques like CoT and RAG, and the mistakes to avoid. Everything I use, in one place.

Learning Science

Spaced Repetition

A plain-language walkthrough of the research — where it comes from, why it works, what the evidence actually says, and the myth most flashcard apps are built on.

App Guide

5 Apps That Make Windows Better

Five apps that actually change how Windows feels day to day — WinToys, PowerToys, WindHawk, File Pilot, and ShareX. All free, mostly open source.

App Guide · Parts 1 & 2

Open-Source Software I Use

Both parts, one page. The open-source (and open-source-adjacent) tools I actually use daily — from browsers and audio editors to launchers, file sharers, and email clients.

Support

Got a question
or issue?

FinSyntax Labs is a one-person project — I build, design, and manage everything here myself alongside my own CA prep. I read every email personally and will get back to you as soon as I can.

Please be patient — I appreciate it more than you know.
