Optimal is where you play and work with AI to handle the stuff that gets in your way. Financial tools, workflows, and insights—all built by one person, for people like you.
I'm solo building and operating Optimal. No layers, no bureaucracy—just direct feedback and fast iteration. You're not talking to a support team, you're talking to the person building it.
Use AI to handle the repetitive stuff so you can focus on what matters. Financial analysis, workflows, insights—all automated so you can be more human.
Budgeting, planning, transaction analysis—the kind of tools I used in corporate finance, now available to you. Enterprise-grade insights without the enterprise price tag.
I'm building this for people I know and people who find it useful. It's not about scale—it's about making tools that actually work for the people using them.

Hey, I'm Carlos Lenis. I'm building Optimal solo—just me, building tools for my sphere of influence. I started this because I wanted to share what I know about financial budgeting, planning, and analysis. Now I'm using AI workflows to solve all kinds of problems.
I'm Miami born and raised, went to Belen Jesuit Prep, and got my finance degree from Florida State. I've worked in corporate and startup finances, specifically in fintech, crypto, and AI. All that experience? It's going into Optimal.
This is a solo operation. I'm building this for people I know and people who find it useful. That's it. No big team, no corporate structure—just me making tools that actually help.
It would mean the world to me if you'd sign up and give me feedback on my product. This is a solo operation, and your input directly shapes what I build next.
