01 / DISCOVERY
Seeing what
was possible.
A very close friend of mine taught me what Claude is and how to use Claude Code. While staying with him in a rental for a period of time, I saw him build Orion. That sparked my interest in building something for myself.
02 / HASHBOARD
Starting with
a real problem.
I joined First Freight Engineerings Pte Ltd in August 2026. I saw how much of the work was manual: organising shipment files in folders, replying to emails and updating Excel sheets to keep track of shipments. The updates could be mundane and sometimes inaccurate, and it was difficult to see where each shipment stood.
I set out to build a shipment dashboard for the company. That became Hashboard, my automated shipment tracking dashboard. It can calculate trucking dates, draft emails, build forms and even book shipments.
03 / THE BRAIN & HASHSTAR
One idea leads
to another.
My friend later shared the structure of his Orion project with me. I began building the Brain and developing it based on that structure.
That led me to think about new ideas for passive income, and the idea for HashStar followed. My ambition is to eventually automate investments and trading so I do not have to check stocks continuously. HashStar is a research and engineering project; strategy performance is not established and live trading is not enabled.
