The challenge
Retail investors hold assets across brokers that don't talk to each other. Getting one honest view of a portfolio — total invested, current value, allocation — means spreadsheets and manual exports. I wanted the consolidated view, and I wanted to test how fast AI-assisted building could ship it.
What I built
- A Supabase backend structured around accounts, holdings, securities and snapshots, with Edge Functions enriching assets through the Yahoo Finance API.
- Statement parsers for Trade Republic (PDF), Bourse Direct (CSV) and Coinbase (CSV) — the unglamorous work that makes consolidation real.
- An automatic snapshot system tracking portfolio evolution day by day.
- A dark, Finary-inspired dashboard on Lovable: P&L overview, historical performance curve, allocation by account, sector and region.
- An investor-profile questionnaire (risk tolerance, horizon, goals) generating first allocation recommendations.
Results
- A working prototype in four days — the proof point for compressing months into days with AI tooling.
- Now pivoting toward financial education and investor accompaniment, where the user conversations pointed.
