Build the Connector - Make Financial Data Outlive the App

Financial data becomes portable when another tool can interpret it correctly. A connector must preserve account identity, transaction meaning, dates, currencies, and source provenance while handling incomplete or inconsistent records. This workshop turns that engineering problem into a participant experience. Developers build a connector that turns a sample financial source into usable, testable context for downstream financial workflows.

The session gives developers working code, reusable tests, and a clear path to contribute. Financial portability supplies the larger purpose, while building and contributing the connector remains the central experience.

● Map source records into a documented financial data structure.

● Handle missing fields, duplicates, and inconsistent values.

● Test the connector and inspect its output.

● See an agent use the connected information.

● Package their work for contribution to the project.
