Projects

Learning Algorithmic Trading
A year-long project containing two sub-projects, which helped me learn the basics of Algo-Trading.
RePlay
A Web application that gathers the genre information of each song in a Spotify playlist, and creates new playlists based on genre.
Project Platform
Created personal websites for myself, my peers, and others. These websites are mostly online resumes; however, some are blogs.
This Website!
This website is the first personal website I have ever made! I decided to create this on 6/20/2024, a rainy and boring day, and it took me 6 hours to do so. Not bad, Right?
Catching Plagiarists
Catching Plagiarists is a Java project that I completed for my Data Structures class at Barrington High School. This project is intended for use with three folders, each containing several documents to compare with each other. The code in this project would check for plagiarism in a user-selected directory. Some edits must be made to the FileClass and TesterClass files for personal use.
