- Founded a K-5 math EdTech company to inspire a love of math in children by offering unique resources and relating math to the student's interests.- Coded the entire full-stack website from scratch (Python, Django, PostgreSQL, S3, Heroku, Stripe, SendGrid, MailChimp, JQuery, Bootstrap).- Developed the only dynamic step-by-step video solutions for math problems (patent submitted) and custom math worksheets that link to online solutions.- Wrote fun practice problems for over 200 skills and 28 interests.- Created advertising campaigns in Google/Facebook Ads, and social media campaigns using Canva.

- Learned options trading / hedging strategies in the classroom and from experienced traders on the desk.- Passed the Series 57 Exam and was certified to trade options on the desk, but instead worked more on the algorithmic / data analysis side.- Wrote and maintained a Python script that updated algorithmic parameters for options across thousands of names. Updates were based on command-line arguments and stock-specific characteristics.- Added interactive command-line option to the script so that non-programmers could update parameters.- Worked closely with management to update parameters accordingly throughout the trading day. Communicated these changes to traders on the desk.- Increased efficiency by creating an Excel file script scheduler to avoid manually entering dozens of commands each day.- Increased trading throughput by designing easy-to-use GUI for traders to visualize the algorithmic parameters and override them if desired.- Decreased losses due to stock hedging slippage by analyzing different factors (e.g. spread, volume, market cap) in Python Pandas / SQL, and modifying hedging aggressiveness accordingly. Presented these findings visually to management using Matplotlib.
