I built Circuit Capital because breaking into finance from engineering felt harder than it needed to be.

The gap

In engineering you are buried in problem sets, labs, and core courses. There is not much room for finance on the transcript, and almost nothing in the curriculum that prepares you for markets, banking, or institutional finance.

Queen's has strong programs, but engineers are not swimming in elite finance clubs or getting the same recruiter attention as commerce students. If you want to learn this stuff, you largely have to figure it out on your own.

How I got here

Personal finance came first. I liked understanding money, markets, and how decisions actually get made. That pulled me toward institutional finance and global markets, specifically sales and trading.

The problem was access. Good material exists, but it is expensive, scattered, and not really built for someone coming from a technical background with limited time.

What I decided to build

I wanted to combine both sides of what I was picking up: finance content that actually matters, and the technical skills to ship something useful.

Circuit Capital is the result. I coded the frontend, structured the study flow around BIWS as the foundation, and trained the guide so users can work through material, answer questions, and get AI grading on their responses. It is completely free. Anyone can use it.

What it includes

  • Study material

    Structured around BIWS content, focused on what matters for breaking in from a technical background.

  • Quizzes & practice

    Questions you can work through without needing a tutor or an expensive course on the side.

  • AI grading

    Written answers get feedback so you know where you are weak before an interview, not during one.

  • Free access

    No paywall. Built for students who are already spending enough elsewhere.
