Built by a trader, for traders.
I've spent over 15 years inside the machine — retail brokers, investment banks, trading desks. My career has been building the complex, multi-faceted systems that power institutional trading: compliance reporting, back-office settlement, order management systems, execution platforms. Bloomberg SSEOMS and TOMS. ITIVITI ULLINK. FIX connectivity. The infrastructure that moves billions of dollars daily and that most traders never see.
I've watched these systems evolve from the inside. I know what they do well — and I know exactly where they fail the people who use them.
The institutional side has Bloomberg. It has dedicated engineering teams, unlimited budgets, and purpose-built intelligence platforms. The retail side gets a brokerage app with a chart and a news feed. That gap has always bothered me.
Zero Terminal exists because I finally decided to close it.
Everything I've learned about distilling complex trading workflows into clean, usable experiences — I'm putting it into this platform. Portfolio intelligence that connects to your broker, pulls real-time signals from the X API scoped to your positions, runs AI analysis on SEC filings and market data, and delivers it all in one workspace.
No tracking. No ads. No selling your data. Just the terminal.
I'm building this solo, shipping daily, and designing every feature with the same standard I'd expect from an institutional desk tool — because that's the only standard I know.
