I'm currently building Flō Finanstic, a personal financial planning platform designed around a simple idea:

Knowing how much money you have is not the same as knowing how much you can spend.

Flō helps people turn the money they already have into a plan for their priorities, commitments and goals, so they can make financial decisions before spending, rather than discovering the consequences afterwards.

The platform is currently evolving through a private beta while I work on its product, architecture and financial domain model.

My main technical focus is the architecture of Flō:

• Framework-independent domain model
• Clear Domain / Application / Infrastructure boundaries
• Dependency inversion around persistence and external services
• Transaction and budgeting domain modelling
• Automated architecture guardrails
• High test coverage and static analysis
• Incremental extraction of framework concerns from the application core

The long-term objective is to make the financial core independently evolvable from the frameworks and delivery mechanisms around it.

Areas of interest:

• Domain modelling
• Clean architecture
• Hexagonal architecture
• Dependency inversion
• Automated testing
• Static analysis
• Financial software
• Distributed systems

I also have a long-standing interest in low-level systems programming, operating systems and software architecture beyond application frameworks.

The source code and technical assets of Flō are maintained under the Flō Finanstic GitHub organization.

Current repositories include:

• flo-app — main Flō application
• flo-wp — public website and documentation
• flo-core — experimental/future framework-independent core

The current architectural refactor is being performed inside flo-app. flo-core is intentionally not being extracted prematurely; the stabilized architecture will determine what eventually belongs there.
