ABOUT DISTILLFIN

Public data, properly visualized. Tools, calmly compared.

DistillFin is a one-person publication on fintech tools and public market data. We curate, we visualize, and we compare. We do not give investment advice, and we do not tell you what to buy or sell.

Not investment advice. Nothing on DistillFin is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or financial product. We publish charts and tool comparisons. Decisions are yours; please consult a licensed advisor for your situation.

About the author — Ravi Krishnan

Ravi Krishnan spent five years as an equity research associate at a mid-sized brokerage in Mumbai before moving to Singapore to work as a product analyst at a regional fintech. He runs DistillFin as a side project: the kind of clear, unhyped tool comparisons and market-data visualizations he wishes had existed when he first started reading financial reports.

His default tools are Python, pandas, and a stubborn preference for plain charts. Find him on X as @ravicharts.
