Summary

Student with a deep interest in Mathematics and Computer Science. Throughout my time at university we have done multiple group projects allowing me to learn to work with peers well. I have taken a wide range of Mathematics subjects ranging from Mathematical Modelling, Discrete Maths, Statistical Theory, Linear Algebra, Calculus. I have also taken classes which involved coding in C, R, Matlab, Python so I have a wide range of programming knowledge.


I have various projects I have embarked on:

- Markowitz Portofolio Optimisation which was done in Python, I optimised a diverse portfolio with respect to volatility.

- Using Reddit's API Wrapper (PRAW), I webscraped r/wallstreetbets top posts and comments, then processed the data using Sentimental Analysis and implemented a working trading algorithm using the quant connect website (https://www.quantconnect.com/).
