Non-developer builds crypto risk API with Claude in one afternoon
What was built
A non-developer with 17 years of prop futures trading experience used Claude to build RiskSnap in one afternoon. The creator noticed a gap in crypto AI agent trading stacks: no portfolio-level risk layer between signal and execution.
Technical implementation
RiskSnap is a FastAPI application with a single endpoint: POST /risk-snapshot. The endpoint scores crypto portfolios across 7 risk dimensions and returns structured signals that AI trading agents can act on directly.
Deployment and infrastructure
- Deployed to Render
- Custom domain at
api.risksnap.dev - 80s Wall Street terminal-style landing page
- Full README with schema documentation
- Open schema with free sandbox access
Development process
The creator used Claude Code to handle the engineering work while focusing on product decisions. The entire project was completed in one session.

The creator is asking whether others are using Claude as a full engineering team for non-technical founders.
