I developed a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) algorithm that spreads a large trade into smaller chunks throughout the day. This allows a big trade to be hidden and prevents the market from moving due to such a large trade.

The algorithm generates a 'VWAP curve' for every stock we trade every night based on the trading pattern for that stock during the previous trading day. The VWAP curves are then used the next day to distribute the trade on that stock throughout the day, mimicking market movements and hiding the trade, increasing profits, and avoiding the possibility of market manipulation.

Menudrive is a food delivery service similar to Uber Eats that I revamped. I successfully took an old, desktop-only website and made it accessible on all browsers and device sizes. The URL above is a static sample of the website that I implemented.

I designed a unique website for a young artist to promote her work. This interactive portfolio helped her university application stand out and led to her enrollment in a prestigious art university. The website features eye-catching animations that draw attention to the art without detracting from it. The digital art portfolio is fully responsive for all device sizes and works in all modern browsers.

As an early employee in a stealth-mode finance startup and the only engineer on the team, I have developed an Android and iOS app from scratch that allows customers to trade financial instruments and monitor market activity.

The app has a slick UI and is easy to use, and I can demonstrate snippets of the app to prospective clients.

Between the ages of 16-18, I participated in the student robotics competition, where teams of students design and build fully autonomous robots.

I was the sole engineer on my team and taught myself Python to write the logic for the robot and some C to calibrate and control motors. In the final year, I participated in the competition, and our team came 3rd out of 64 teams.
