Since 2022 I have run Peaceful.Trade, a one-person software studio with 100+ clients, including investment managers and trading-tool vendors. In 2026 I was a developer on the Trading IQ indicator and strategy suite. In 2023 and 2024 I was the developer for ChartPrime's main product and its open-source and influencer products on TradingView, in a library of eight main products and twenty-five plus indicators.
Signal processing runs through all of it. I started out mixing broadcast audio at a community radio station, and the same ideas now go into price series.
Pine Script written at the architectural level, with user-defined types, method chaining and finite-state machines, so client indicators stay maintainable across TradingView version changes.
A GUI editor where clients set presets on their own strategies and export the finished script, and TradingView-to-broker automation.
Self-hosted mail on Docker, an nginx reverse proxy, automated TLS, and a Playwright and Chromium pipeline that renders client documentation.
Public under The_Peaceful_Lizard on TradingView and hikari112 on GitHub. A few picks:
Producing electronic music as Hikari since 2009: drum and bass, techno, trance, phonk and the occasional classical loop. Frontpaged on Newgrounds in December 2020; latest releases Diabolica and Break In My Head. The audio side of the resume started there, long before the broadcast desk at Peace FM.
Radio and TV producer in Chetwynd, BC, mixing advertisements and running the advertising-traffic logs. A winter of GPS survey layout in remote northeast BC on snowshoes. Before that, a lumber yard and warehouse, pizza delivery and shift lead, and a summer of municipal maintenance.
