The most amazing...
...software I've developed is a social sustainability app with the entire front and back end, pop-up notifications, consumption tracking, and user chats.
Employment
Experience
- Cross-platform Social Sustainability App
Created a full-stack cross-platform app with a Flutter front-end and TypeScript back-end, connected with a GraphQL API. I built the database on top of PostgreSQL, programmed the back end in TypeScript, and used Firebase for the real-time database, pop-up notifications, and user analytics. Additionally, I enhanced the analytics by using a custom asynchronous data pipeline, which performed k-nearest neighbor analysis to group users into different, dynamically set categories.
- Webscraping Tutorials in Pythonhttps://www.practiceprobs.com/problemsets/selenium-with-python/
A set of tutorials for beginner, over intermediate to advanced web scraping in Python using Selenium. The tutorials are written as little challenges, and solutions, as well as explanations, are provided. This project is still ongoing, and I am working on further tutorials to expand toward highly advanced web scraping problems.
- Bayesian Analysis of Stock Market Data
Using Excel, I worked on a Bayesian approach that an investment company utilized to predict the likelihood of a recession occurring in the near future, given key market parameters and a decade-long history of market data. As this was just after COVID-19 was brought under control, this was a highly relevant subject, and the employer was more than happy with my work.
