An eye for detail and the hands to build it. I make interfaces feel right, then ship the whole product underneath.

I care about how a product feels: the spacing, the states, the little bit of motion, the things people notice but can't quite name. Then I build the whole thing that delivers it, interface down to infrastructure.

I work fast, with AI woven through everything. Claude Code, Codex, a little Mac mini humming automations day and night.

I ran a creative team of six before I ever shipped code, and I've built most of what's here myself since. Both sides taught me the same thing: the handoff is where products die.

Selected Work

A complete product layer for prop firms. The firm keeps its own prop tech and its own data; PropFrame is everything built around them, so it works the same whether the firm trades futures, CFDs or crypto. It runs a live firm in production today, and it sells the other way too: a prop tech provider can integrate it once and offer it white-labeled to every firm on its book. The demo behind the link is that same system with the real traders stripped out.

Dashboard

The portal a trader lives in, from the first evaluation to the eighth payout: accounts, objectives, drawdown state and the profit-split score behind every payout. Around it sits the community layer, including a fully automated giveaway system and a built-in replacement for Discord, with livestreaming and everything else you'd expect from it. Overnight, an agent turns the previous day's trading data into a newsletter and delivers it straight to each trader's dashboard. Certificates, a tiered affiliate program and support all live in here too.

Admin

The console running the operation behind the scenes: payouts, scoring, risk and the money. The whole commerce side lives here too, down to the guest-checkout storefront it drives. Every trader and every account is searchable and editable from one place, so support and risk work out of the same screens the numbers come from. It also holds a control panel over every function in the trader dashboard, so staff can moderate the community, settle an affiliate payout or push an announcement without waiting on a deploy.

Project management built for teams working shoulder to shoulder with AI agents. The kanban board stays the single source of truth, and every card doubles as a machine-readable brief an agent can pick up, execute, and report back on.

Website

The marketing site: what Quill is, who it's for, and why a board built for agents beats a plain kanban. I owned the positioning, the copy and the free-while-in-beta offer, down to the case for treating a structured card as a clean agent handoff. The whole thing is built to land before anyone signs in.

Webapp

The product itself. A kanban board where every card is a structured brief, carrying its own scope, checklists and linked repos. The Quill Agent runs with full card and workspace context and cites its sources, and you can fire it from a palette, a comment, your voice or a Slack @mention. GitHub repos and Slack threads bind straight to projects, and outside agents connect over a CLI and a native MCP server to work the board themselves, all grounded in a hybrid knowledge base.

A MarketingOS that treats content as one pipeline instead of a pile of one-off posts. A brand-trained AI drafts in your voice, and a single click pushes the result out to every channel at once.

Website

The marketing site. I did the positioning and the whole pitch: one place to make your content, an AI trained on your brand that writes it, and one click to publish everywhere. The hard part was making an all-in-one promise sound specific instead of vague.

Webapp

The product itself. A campaigns dashboard that runs content across every channel from one place. The brand-aware AI drafts in your voice, an Image Playground handles the visuals, and one click pushes the result to 14+ destinations: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Discord, Telegram and email over Brevo. Nobody has to cross-post by hand again.

AI Automations & Flows

Agentic flows are my favorite thing to build. Some run on a schedule, some reason their own way through a job, and the good ones do both.

They read the real systems overnight and leave something finished behind: a report, a decision queue, a week of content ready to post.

Real runs I built for a prop trading firm, one flow per department, retold here as one-page samples. Names and account numbers are invented.

The Story

First

Creative direction

Years of creative direction, running a video team of up to six. Where the obsession with how things look and feel started.

Then

Learned to build

Got tired of handing ideas off, so I learned to ship them myself, frontend to backend.

Now

AI engineer

I build full products end to end. UI/UX I still obsess over, with agents and an AI-native workflow doing the rest.

Portrait of Ales Martan

Experience

PropFrame
2026 · Independent · Remote
propframe.tech

The product layer a prop trading firm runs on, built to sit on top of any industry-standard prop tech, or to ship white-labeled inside a prop tech provider's own platform.

Jan 2026 – Jul 2026

Founder & Developer

Built the whole platform end to end: the trader dashboard, the staff console, and the commerce and marketing layer around them. Everything a prop firm needs except the prop tech itself, which it reads over API, so the firm keeps its own data and its own providers. It has been running a live firm in production, and it sells either straight to a firm or as a white-label module inside a prop tech provider's own product.

Ai Technologies Co
2025 · Contract · Remote
aitechnologiesco.com

A fintech venture studio and incubator with a portfolio spanning trading tools, payments and digital agencies.

Sep 2025 – Dec 2025

AI Solutions Specialist

Built a custom company-wide AI agent wired into the CRM. Any team could ask it for what they needed, from marketing statistics to finance data, and get an answer on demand.

Easton Consulting Technologies
2024 – 2025 · Remote
eastontech.net

The consulting firm behind The Funded Trader and more than a dozen other prop firms serving retail traders.

Oct 2024 – Jul 2025

AI Productivity Engineer

The in-house AI tool-builder. Shipped automations and internal tools for teams across the group, from project management through to content operations, right up until it wound down.

Apr 2024 – Oct 2024

Content Manager

The same content ownership, widened to every prop firm under Easton's management. More than a dozen brands running off one calendar.

The Funded Trader
2022 – 2024 · Remote
thefundedtraderprogram.com

A forex prop firm that grew into one of the biggest of its era, funding retail traders worldwide.

Apr 2023 – Apr 2024

Content Manager

Owned everything TFT published across its social channels. Built the content calendar, kept releases on schedule and grew the YouTube channel from zero to 100k subscribers.

Oct 2022 – Apr 2023

Lead Video Editor

Ran the video team of four to six editors. Kept them supplied with assets, reviewed everything before it shipped and held the quality line on both the edit and the design.

Apr 2022 – Oct 2022

Senior Video Editor & Graphic Designer

Cut nearly everything the firm put out, from trader interviews to ads, plus the design work around them. Editing every video meant rewatching every video, which taught me trading and the rules of the business from the inside.
