Finance
I earned a B.S. in Finance from the University of Texas at Dallas and have spent the past three years working in corporate finance.
Hi, I'm Raaghav.
I'm a financial analyst and a software engineer, and I built Relic, a browser tool that helps you read SEC filings faster without ever sending them to a server. It's an independent project I run and maintain myself, at the intersection of finance, machine learning, and privacy.

Why I Built Relic
I've always been drawn to investing. I like reading about companies, following how they change over time, and spending evenings with SEC filings the way other people spend them with novels. A 10-K rewards close attention, but that attention takes time, and I kept wishing for a faster first pass. I wanted something that helped me understand a company sooner, so I could decide where to dig deeper.
A 10-K may be public, but what you do with it isn't.
The usual answer today is to send the document to a cloud AI. I never liked that trade. A 10-K may be public, but what you do with it isn't: the questions you ask, the passages you flag, the thesis you're forming, even which companies you're reading and when. That's your research, and I didn't want to hand it to a service I couldn't see inside. So I built the tool I wanted to use myself, one that helps me read filings faster without giving my work away.
Background
Software
Along the way, I taught myself software development. My first browser extension, Chromanga, colorizes manga as you read it and is now used by more than 1,500 people globally. Building it taught me how browser extensions actually work, from permissions and packaging to performance and the realities of shipping software inside Chrome.
Relic
Relic brings those two experiences together. Corporate finance taught me where the important disclosures live, why footnotes and Management's Discussion and Analysis often matter more than the headline numbers, and how to separate signal from boilerplate. Building Chromanga taught me how to design and ship software for the browser. Relic combines both disciplines, and it's the project I've invested the most time and care into.
My Philosophy
Privacy should be built in.
If a document belongs on your machine, the product has to keep it there by design. Relic was shaped around that from the first line of code, so privacy isn't a policy you have to trust. It's how the tool works.
Software should solve a problem you actually have.
Tools that grow out of a real workflow rather than a market opportunity tend to be clear about what they do and honest about what they don't. Relic is the tool I wished existed while reading filings, and it does exactly that.
A tool should respect your judgment.
Relic gives you a faster first read, not a verdict. It surfaces the parts of a filing worth your attention, then gets out of the way so the thinking stays yours.
Connect
If you've used Relic, I want to hear what worked and what didn't. That's what shapes the next version. And if you care about investing, privacy, or building software that stays on device, I'm always glad to talk.
