Algorithmic Trading Bot
In addition to coding and math I have a strong interest in finance and the stock market. I wanted to learn more about the intersection between algorithms, math, and finance and did so by created my own algorithmic trading bot. This bot uses sentiment analysis on news headlines to determine whether to place buy or sell orders on given stocks. I incorporated stop losses, portion sizing, and other risk management features to ensure capital preservation, making this bot fully funcitonal on its own.

Social DJ
Social DJ is an app that eliminates the struggle of finding new music. As a DJ and big music fan I wanted to create a way for users to easily share songs they like and new songs they find. The current version of the app is desgined for Android phones but I'm working on making an iOS version before it gets released. Stay tuned!

Syllabus Planner
Syllabus Planner is a program that takes syllabi from courses uploaded by the user and adds all assignments to an Apple calendar. The goal of this project was to create something that would help my peers. This allows students to stay organized and succeed in school.
