McCrady
Economics student and founder of StrideSignal.
I’m at Colorado College this fall and transferring to UT Dallas in spring 2027. I built StrideSignal, a platform for para track and field data, and I’ve worked on scholarship funding research and pricing models for an early-stage startup. This is where I share what I’m building and what I’m learning.

About me
I study economics, and most of what I’ve learned outside the classroom has come from taking a question someone couldn’t answer and finding the data for it.
At Night of Superstars, that meant a decade of tuition data from universities across Dallas–Fort Worth, to show the organization’s board what its scholarships were actually worth. At Agora AI, a pre-revenue startup, it meant break-even math on sales calls and a pricing model for the company’s first paying client.
StrideSignal started the same way. Para track and field produces results constantly and organizes almost none of them. I built a database of those results and started modeling projections against it, so an athlete can see where they stand and where they’re heading.
Outside of that, I refereed soccer for a year and a half, and I volunteer as a tutor on Schoolhouse.World, helping students through college admissions.
