Financial modeling tool for real estate developers

Problem

Developers model projects in fragile Excel files only the author understands. Scenarios run slow, sharing breaks the formulas, one wrong input sinks a million dollar deal.

Solution

A web calculator that turns the development proforma into something anyone runs in a browser: land, hard costs, financing, returns. No spreadsheet, no broken formulas.

My role

Designed and built it end to end: financial logic, interface, deploy. Translated an 84 formula Excel model into a single TypeScript engine I would have killed for managing budgets.

Results

  • Analyzed 200+ real estate projects across 12+ cities
  • Calculated $7,490M in project volume to date
  • Cut a 2 hour Excel exercise down to 30 seconds average
  • Turns shareable scenarios into qualified leads for Octar
