One year at trading firm; scripts are saturating CPUs, stalling servers.
Forced to restart them.
2025-02: Built a C# WinForms app to record browser sessions and synthesize
better scripts.

</video>
JS hooks, WebView2 browser, Scintilla.NET editor emit events. Backend
interprets them and emits Selenium browser automation code.
Two linear lists store events and code—no time for ASTs. Mid-session manual
edits desync lists, block optimizer. Workaround: only edit script after
recording.
2025-03: Shipped first iteration. Began work on key optimization: bypass the
browser, grab data files directly.
2025-04: Abandoned project. Left the firm.
