I build software that actually ships.

Portrait of Ben Davis

I study finance and build business software with AI. Every project below is live, so you can click in and try it.

01/Selected Work

All live. Click any project to try it. The CRM and the finance dashboard are demos with made-up data.

01

SalesEQ Coach

Learn sales by coaching an AI rookie through his deals.

Built for a college sales class and based on Jeb Blount's Sales EQ. After a short quiz on the chapter, students text Liam, a first-year account executive stuck on a deal, and coach him. Then they watch his sales call play out based on their advice, debrief with him, and get a score out of 50.

Relay CRM

A texting CRM for a financial advisor and their assistant.

Built for a working financial advisor. It tracks their text conversations, moves each person through a pipeline on its own, and drafts replies with AI. Anything that touches financial advice is blocked from sending until a person reviews it. The assistant gets a clear queue of what to enter in the firm's official CRM. The demo uses made-up contacts and messages.

Finance Dashboard

My spending, pulled from my bank and sorted automatically.

Syncs my bank and brokerage accounts every four hours, uses AI to put each transaction in a category, and finds recurring bills on its own. The month view shows what I've spent so far, where I'm headed by month end, and what's due next. The demo runs on made-up accounts and numbers.

Make the Point

A design rulebook for Power BI reports.

Twenty-two rules for building Power BI visuals that make their point in three seconds, ordered by how much each one changes what a reader takes away. Every rule shows a Power BI default next to a redesign, built from a real HR dataset of 301 employees, and names the setting that makes the fix. Made for my business analytics course.

Pulls financial news from sources I picked, tracks a stock watchlist, and teaches the basics in short lessons. A practice mode lets you invest with fake money. Sign in with Google.

03/About

“I don’t believe inthe no-win scenario.”
James T. Kirk

Same goes for me. I like hard problems, and AI lets me solve them much faster than I could alone.

I’m a finance student with minors in Business Analytics and AI Business Systems. I have a 4.0 GPA and graduate in April 2028.

I also build. I’ve made 30+ AI simulations and web apps for university courses, used by 70+ students, and I build tools for small businesses. The finance side tells me what’s worth building. The builder side means I can actually ship it.
