    Dossier

    A FICA onboarding and document management platform built for Makhafola & Associates, a South African law firm.

    FICA and client-onboarding software for South African law firms, first built with Makhafola & Associates. It takes the compliance paperwork a firm must complete before taking on a matter, along with its client documents, out of email and spreadsheets and puts everything in one secure place. Each client’s documents stay organised and easy to find, and clients get a simple, trustworthy way to submit what the firm asks for. Built for attorneys, support staff and clients at small and mid-size practices that can’t carry enterprise compliance tooling.

    Mamba vs. Transformers

    Modern sequence architectures against transformers for financial forecasting: 87.5% win rate across eight financial datasets

    Honors research, testing whether modern sequence architectures actually beat transformers on financial forecasting, rather than assuming either way. Mamba and its relatives against transformer baselines across eight datasets, with an 87.5% win rate. For anyone reaching for a transformer because it's what everyone reaches for, you should consider looking into this.
