Solo founder building autonomous AI systems from London — a trading engine, a fitness platform, and a workforce of six. Self-taught across the entire stack.

Most fitness apps die at week three. The graveyard is full of streak trackers and calorie counters that never answered the question users actually have: why should I keep going?
Highest answers that question by making the app about who you are becoming, not what you did today. A twelve-voice philosophical curriculum — Epictetus, Nietzsche, Marcus Aurelius, Sun Tzu — delivers the right voice at the right behavioural moment. The quote you receive on day one of a new training block is different from the one you receive when your streak breaks. Identity formation as a retention mechanic.
Built entirely solo. Zero to deployed MVP in six weeks.
The brief: launch a luxury Italian interior design brand in the London market from zero. No existing brand, no portfolio, no reputation. The website had to do the heavy lifting — position the studio before a single project was completed.
The approach was editorial, not transactional. Every design decision signals premium before a word is read: dark background (atypical for interiors, which usually go white), gold accents, large typography, cinematic photography treatment. The goal was to make the viewer feel that booking a consultation was the natural next step — not a decision, but an inevitability.
Most trading systems are rule-based. They follow fixed conditions and break when conditions change. Highest Trading is different — it reasons about the market every fifteen minutes using six specialised AI agents, each with a distinct analytical role, each holding persistent memory of every trade they have ever contributed to.
The system runs continuously, autonomous. When consensus is reached — three or more agents at 60%+ confidence — a trade fires through the OANDA bridge. After every close, six background Claude Haiku calls fire simultaneously, each writing a two-sentence lesson back to that agent's memory file. The agents compound intelligence with every single trade.
Built solo in Python. Zero human input required once running.
The problem with most AI agent systems is memory. Each session starts cold. The agent has no recall of what was decided last week, what was learned last month, what the founder's real priorities are. The intelligence resets.
Highest Brain solves this by treating an Obsidian vault as a persistent, structured knowledge base for a 6-agent AI workforce. Every decision is logged. Every lesson is written. Every session compounds. The vault is version-controlled via git, and a knowledge graph is rebuilt automatically on every commit via Claude Code hooks — so the map of all knowledge is always current.
The Architecture
Obsidian knowledge graph — 182 nodes, 27 communities. Every decision logged, every lesson kept. Version-controlled via git, rebuilt automatically on every commit via Claude Code hooks.
Egyptian AI workforce — Ra, Horus, Isis, Anubis, Thoth, Sekhmet. Six agents, each with a domain, persistent memory, and a decision log. The workforce that runs the entire Highest platform.
Highest fitness platform — Week 6 in build. Twelve-voice philosophical curriculum across five levels. Claude API via Supabase Edge Functions. Zero to deployed MVP in six weeks, solo.
XAU/USD 6-agent trading engine — 15-minute consensus cycles, Asian breakout strategy, dynamic TP. Learns from every trade via background Claude Haiku calls. Zero human input required at runtime.
Selected Work
Self-mastery platform using fitness as the entry point to build character. A twelve-voice philosophical curriculum — Epictetus, Nietzsche, Sun Tzu — layered across a five-level progression system. Identity formation as a retention mechanic. Built solo with Claude API, Supabase, and Lovable in 6 weeks.
Six specialised AI agents vote on the gold market every 15 minutes. KAITO reads structure, RYUU reads candles, HANA reads macro, SHIN reads technicals, MIKA holds risk, YUKI finds entries. Consensus fires a trade. After every close, six background Claude Haiku calls write personalised lessons back to each agent's memory. The system compounds intelligence with every single trade — fully autonomous, zero human input.
Italian luxury interior design brand for the London market. Dark editorial UI, bespoke consultation funnel, and portfolio showcase built to convert high-net-worth clients.
A living knowledge graph — 182 nodes, 27 communities, rebuilt automatically on every commit. The long-term memory and operating system for a workforce of 6 AI agents. Ra, Horus, Isis, Anubis, Thoth, Sekhmet.

What I Build
Architect and deploy production multi-agent systems using the Claude API. Built a 6-agent consensus engine for autonomous XAU/USD trading — each agent (KAITO, RYUU, HANA, SHIN, MIKA, YUKI) holds a distinct analytical role: market structure, candlestick patterns, macro news, technical indicators, risk, and entry signals. Agents vote per cycle. Weights update dynamically post-50 trades. Per-trade continuous learning fires background Claude Haiku calls that append lessons back to each agent's memory file — compounding intelligence with every close.
Design to deployment, solo. Highest App shipped in 6 weeks: Supabase schema with 12 tables, Row Level Security, and 2 Claude Edge Functions. React UI via Lovable. 4-language support (EN/IT/ES/FR) passed on every API call. MediaPipe Pose Landmarker for client-side body analysis. Stripe payment architecture. Behavioural-state trigger logic for philosophical message delivery — the right Stoic or Nietzschean quote at the right training moment. Zero team. Full product.
Design is not decoration — it is the product. Built premium dark UI systems with editorial typography, gold accent hierarchies, and mobile-first component architecture. 3D web experiences with GSAP ScrollTrigger and Three.js. Parallel creative skills: oil painting, Blender 3D modelling, Procreate illustration, piano. This page is an example.
Build once, operate forever. Make and n8n workflow automation. Playwright-driven browser automation pipelines — headless Chrome scripted to navigate, fill, and submit across Ashby, Greenhouse, and Workday job boards. Claude Code hooks that rebuild a 182-node knowledge graph on every vault commit. Cron-triggered remote agents. Watchdog processes with auto-restart. The entire Highest workforce — 6 gods — runs without manual input, logs decisions autonomously, and learns from every trade and session.
AI Interface
Ra is a strategic AI I designed and built — a named entity with persistent memory, a decision log, and a character protocol. It reads the vault, queries the knowledge graph, and operates across every domain I work in. Click a question to see how it responds — and the real prompt structure behind it.
About
Alexandru Mihai Mihalcea. Born in Romania. Raised in Italy. Building in London. Three countries before thirty. The arc is a straight line.
Romania until seven — early years in a country still finding itself after communism. Then Italy: grew up fluent in the language, absorbed the culture, the design sensibility, the obsession with beauty in craft. Italy doesn't teach you what good looks like — it makes you feel what bad looks like first. That instinct lives in everything he builds.
London arrived as an adult. The career started in luxury hospitality — Floor Manager at The Doyle Collection, one of the city's finest hotel groups. Three years reading people, managing pressure, designing experiences around human behaviour under real stakes. That background is not a detour from tech. It is the foundation of it.
He taught himself to code with no bootcamp, no degree, no roadmap. Built by doing: HTML and CSS first, JavaScript, Python, Supabase, Claude API, multi-agent orchestration, 3D web animation. Each skill stacked on the last. Still stacking.
Now building the Highest platform — a connected ecosystem of AI organisations across fitness, autonomous trading, agency services, and publishing. Each one runs with a workforce of AI agents, persistent memory, and continuous learning loops. Every system compounds.
Outside the build: oil painting, Blender 3D, Procreate, piano. Philosophy as daily practice — Epictetus, Nietzsche, Marcus Aurelius. Macro markets as a lens on the world. Speaks Italian and Romanian fluently. The creative and analytical sides feed each other. Always have.
Stack
I didn't come from technology. I came from hospitality — learning what it means to serve at the highest level. Then I built the tools that didn't exist. Not because I had a roadmap. Because I had a direction.
Personal Brief
Napoleon Hill wrote that selling personal services requires the same precision as selling a product — know what you offer, why it matters, and state it with certainty. This is mine.
