Projects

Public code repositories and data tools. For source material on related research, see the Research and TNSE pages.

FreeNIC

Open Banking Regulatory Data

github.com/andenick/FreeNIC

A public Python and R package plus a server providing programmatic access to 1.5 billion rows of US banking regulatory data spanning 1863–2026. Coverage: 217,210 institutions, 34 Parquet tables, 20 source datasets, 15 query tools.

This is the public infrastructure I most often want when doing empirical banking research, and it had not previously existed in this form. Any researcher (or AI agent) can query the consolidated data directly without writing custom adapters.

arcanum-workspace

AI-First Research Workspace

github.com/andenick/arcanum-workspace

The home of the AI tools used across all of my research projects. Skill templates, workspace standards, and supporting infrastructure for AI-assisted empirical research.

HMDA Explore

Home Mortgage Disclosure Act Shiny App

andenick.shinyapps.io/HMDAExplore

An interactive R Shiny application for exploring 33 years of Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data across four data-definition eras. Six tabs: select areas, demographics (HUD CHAS data), home financing, financial institution view, top 10 lenders, and a PDF report generator. Built during my research assistantship at The New School’s Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis.

Please allow the app a moment to spin up on first load — once running, it is fast.
