I'm Steven Hatzakis, a fintech researcher, AI product builder, and Partner & Global Director of Online Broker Research at Reink Media Group, operating ForexBrokers.com, StockBrokers.com, and Investor.com.
With 25+ years in financial markets and 1,000+ code commits in 2025, I build production AI systems that ship. My focus areas include:
- Agentic AI & MCP: Built and published an MCP server to the official Model Context Protocol Registry, enabling Claude and ChatGPT integrations with 40+ tools
- Advanced Python: AsyncIO, metaprogramming, custom middleware, event-driven architecture
- Full-Stack: React/Vite, Flask/Aiohttp, Railway/Vercel, Docker, VPS management
- Cryptography: BIP39 security, reversible mnemonics, entropy management
I've been practicing RAG and agentic coding workflows since before these terms existed. Top 1% ChatGPT user (14,000+ messages in 2025).
Forex-GPT.ai is an AI-powered financial analysis platform I built from scratch starting May 2023. Now serving 3,000+ users with 10,000+ conversations and 800+ Stripe transactions.
Tech stack: Python/AsyncIO backend, React/Vite frontend, MCP server architecture, real-time sentiment scoring, TTS narration, voice-activated trading demos.
The ForexGPT Pro Terminal is available on Google Play:
In mid-2023, I coined the term meta-prompting and wrote one of the earliest books on the concept: Mastering Meta-Prompting: The Key to AI-Driven Success. The idea: use AI to iteratively design and refine prompts, shifting the human role from operator to architect of intent.
I research cryptography and cybersecurity, particularly the convergence of blockchain and AI. Contributions include:
- W3C WebCrypto API
- BIP39 Mnemonic Tools (discoverer of reversible palindromic mnemonics)
- Ian Coleman's BIP39 tool
