Samuel Sträuli

Hello,
I am Samuel.

After almost a decade as a self-employed personal trainer, I decided to take a new path into finance. I study at ZHAW in Winterthur and at SKEMA Business School in Paris to build professional knowledge of the highest degree in a field I'm passionate about.

My work

During my MSc in Banking and Finance I specialized in innovative technologies, which led me to start learning how to use large language models. These are some of my projects:

These skills are saving me hours each week while making the processes run more efficiently. I am eager to share the knowledge I have gained in a professional setting.

TeamHub

Web app · built for my employer

TeamHub is a web app I built for the team at my employer. It started with one question: what does a team actually open ten times a day? It became the single place that answers it. It was designed, built and reviewed with Claude Code, and it runs as a real app, not a slide deck.

What's in TeamHub

  • My month: every coach and front desk person sees their own sessions and hours for the month. They tick the ones they can't make, and those go out for cover in one step.
  • Open classes: the cover board. Anyone cleared for a session can answer “Want it” or “If needed”, and an admin confirms who takes it.
  • Tell the team: after someone records an absence, TeamHub writes the WhatsApp message for the group chat. It's ready to copy, or opens straight in WhatsApp.
  • Admin dashboard: one month at a time, showing who asked for what, what nobody has picked up yet, and what's already covered. Admins assign, decline or change cover in one click.
  • Schedule: the whole week at a glance, with classes on top and front desk underneath. Open and covered sessions are marked.
  • Team absences: every session handed over this month, grouped by person. Only admins see it.
  • Front desk: the shift plan and hours, live. Staff log what they actually worked, and admins copy the monthly totals straight into accounting.

Opens the public demo, not the version my employer uses. Everyone in it is shown by role only, with no real staff data.

Personal Trainer Admin Assistant

Complete setup · zip download

This is the admin system I actually run my coaching business on. It reads my Google Calendar, checks which sessions happened last week, plans the next one for every client, drafts the invoices and the emails that go with them, and knows when a client's package is about to run out. Everything a self-employed trainer does on a Sunday evening, with one prompt.

What's in the zip

  • Setup wizard: a one-time wizard that asks about you and your clients, then builds your workbook.
  • Week Planner: checks last week against the calendar, then programs next week for every client.
  • Invoice Generator: builds the invoice PDF from a client template and writes the cover email.
  • Training Plan skill: the same one you can download on its own, wired into the weekly flow.
  • Client roster template: swap in your own clients, packages and prices.
  • README: how to install the skills in Claude and connect your calendar.
  • Invoice template: a neutral one-page invoice with placeholders, ready to rebrand.
  • User guide (PDF): setup and weekly use, step by step, no technical knowledge needed.

Free to use and adapt. If you build on it, I'd love to hear!

Training Plan Skill

Claude Skill · zip download

A skill that teaches Claude the way I write 4-week strength cycles after a decade of coaching. Upload it to Claude, and a single prompt produces a plan I'd be happy to hand a client, once it has asked the questions a real coach would ask first.

What it asks you

  • How many days a week you train, and which split you want
  • Your experience level and how coordinated you are under load
  • Whether you want a compact print version or a phone-friendly one

What you get

  • A 4-week cycle with progression built in, week by week
  • Blank fields to log sets and reps
  • A print-ready PDF that opens on a phone or on paper

Everybody who jokingly asks me for a training plan gets sent this skill. Check it out!

AI Second Brain

Obsidian + Claude Code · personal knowledge system

I use a system of Obsidian and Claude Code so an AI agent learns from sources I trust and uses those as its knowledge base instead of the open internet. It can make connections between knowledge points, like a real brain.

How my AI second brain worksSources I trust, such as papers, articles, books, lectures, podcasts and my own notes, go to a Claude Code agent that reads, summarises, tags and links them into my Obsidian vault. The vault is a knowledge graph with clusters for finance, coaching, AI and automation, and studies, plus links between them. Answers come from this vault, not from the open internet.01SOURCES I TRUST02THE AGENT03MY VAULTPAPERSARTICLESBOOKSLECTURESPODCASTSMY NOTESclaude code› read› summarise› tag› linkFINDS NEW CONNECTIONSCOACHINGAI + AUTOMATIONSTUDIESFINANCEThe open internet is left outAnswers built on knowledge I trust → How my AI second brain worksSources I trust go to a Claude Code agent that reads, summarises, tags and links them into my Obsidian vault, a knowledge graph.
