Aym Abdalla · building in public

We publish what we build — and what it actually did.

The Nest is the home for everything I build: a trading bot that ran 535,425 backtests and found no large edge, a study app that deletes its own hallucinations, and an AI website business I'm running live. Wins and losses, both published.

The premise

Honesty first. Everything else is downstream of that.

Most build-in-public content shows you the win and quietly buries the losses. The Nest does the opposite: the process is published exactly as it happened, including the null result. A bot that says "I don't know" is the only bot worth trusting with money — that line isn't a slogan, it's the actual finding of the first project below.

The receipts

Real numbers, not screenshots of winners.

535,425 graveyard entries, backtest layer
2,567,999 live shadow signals, paper-only
52 strategies pooled and verdicted
4,692 passing tests in the engine suite

The verdict: no large edge

What's here

Shadow-only

The Null Result

A trading research system, backtested and shadow-traded, that found no edge worth risking money on — and published the proof.

In build — this site is proof

The AI Website Hustle

Full websites, built fast with AI, sold to local businesses that have none. This site is the first build — client zero.
