Projects
Data Structure Projects | (Coded in Java)
- Dijkstra Algorithm: To replicate GPS functionalities, I designed a Dijkstra-based system to calculate shortest paths and distances between major cities, mimicking a real-life navigation solution for route planning.
- Complex Dynamics Visualization Program: To enhance the visualization of complex mathematical functions, I created an interactive GUI to graph Julia and Mandelbrot sets to make complex functions more accessible for educational purposes.
- Binary Search Trees: Faced with the challenge of arranging large, disorganized datasets, I developed a solution using a Binary Search Tree with multiple traversal methods creating an organization system with swift data retrieval speeds.
- Superlist Project: Directed to integrate multiple data structures into a single, cohesive list. I created a “Superlist” utilizing List Nodes to inherit the functionalities of Stacks, Arrays/Array Lists, and Queues, simplifying multiple data structures within a singular superclass.
Financial / Technical Projects | (Coded in Pinescript and Python)
- Dual Polynomial Projection: To predict future price movements, developed a model that projects multinomial curves beyond observed data points that provided valuable insights into potential market trends.
- The Tiny Oracle: Needing to assess price movements, created an analytical tool that evaluates multiple financial indicators and delivers a “Buy, Sell, or Neutral” rating, providing actionable insights on market trends.
- Refined Time-Series Analysis: Having to forecast potential trend shifts, implemented a predictive tool using Linear regression and Time-Series Analysis with adjustable periods to enhance trend predictions.
