About the founder

Hi, I’m Colton.

I built Charged Alpha to produce highly detailed, consistent stock analysis that I believe can stand beside Wall Street research. I use frontier AI models to turn that work into engaging video presentations and podcast-style episodes.

Viewer feedback showed that the material could be dense when the underlying metrics were unfamiliar, so I built the Charged Alpha app. Its narrated lessons and interactive labs let people work with real company metrics and hear how changing an input changes the analysis.

I’m a mechanical engineer and design engineer by background. That same mix of analysis and hands-on problem solving now extends to Charged Physics Lab, Today Was, and Plotava, a practical field-documentation app for turning plans, measurements, photos, and markups into one linked package. They are free to download or try, and I appreciate every piece of feedback.

Charged Alpha apps

Four apps. One practical approach.

Charged Alpha turns dense investing ideas into decisions you can practice. Charged Physics Lab applies that approach to equations, Today Was preserves the details of days worth remembering, and Plotava organizes field conditions into a clear, linked handoff.

Plotava

Plotava turns a field walk into one organized record another person can follow. Import a plan, photo, PDF, or sketch; pin each condition to its exact location; attach evidence; add precise dimensions and markups; then export a professional linked PDF without changing the original drawing.

Built for independent contractors and small field teams. Plotava is a focused, more affordable alternative to paid per-user field-management platforms such as Fieldwire when the job is capturing what is there and handing it off clearly.

Charged Physics Lab

Charged Physics Lab turns 200 Physics I and Physics II equations into a visual problem-solving workspace. Search with plain English, symbols, or quantities; enter values directly into the equation; isolate a variable automatically or one algebra move at a time; and carry a result into a related formula. Dynamic diagrams and narrated, teacher-style worked examples connect the calculation to the physics.

Today Was

Today Was works as both a voice-first journal and a structured daily log. It preserves what you said, can privately polish it for readability, and offers 10 reusable templates for hunting, fishing, hiking, gardening, work, photography, health, travel, and field notes. With permission, a day can include photos, moon phase, an exact location pin, satellite preview, and a complete daily and hourly weather snapshot. Journal content is encrypted and kept on the device, making it useful for personal memories, fieldwork, maple-syrup runs, hunting conditions, fishing patterns, and any record where the setting matters.
