I am a versatile Web Developer with a background in Data Science and Finance. I am passionate about creating innovative web solutions and have a keen interest in mobile app development. Constantly seeking new opportunities to learn and grow in the tech industry, I thrive on solving complex problems and driving productivity enhancements.
More About MeI pursued my BA in Finance and have accumulated 10 years of experience in the field. My career began in a wealth management firm, where I gained knowledge from front to back office operations. A pivotal moment was working for a Swiss private bank, which provided invaluable insights into Swiss banking culture, highlighted by a memorable ski trip in the Swiss Alps. My journey also led me through compliance roles. I further broadened my expertise in the pension sector, collaborating closely with actuaries.
My journey into web development began with a decision to enroll in a bootcamp in March 2020. I immersed myself in mastering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, Express.js, Firebase, and MongoDB. Recently, I've been expanding my skills into mobile app development, focusing on React Native for creating dynamic, user-centric mobile solutions.
My data science journey revolves around Python, where I utilize libraries like NumPy and Pandas for data manipulation. SQL aids in database management, while Matplotlib and Seaborn facilitate data visualization. I apply machine learning techniques with scikit-learn and TensorFlow for building predictive models, and use Flask for deploying these solutions in web applications.
Each project represents different aspects of my background and experience.
This website features global financial news and allows users to browse specific stocks, with data fetched from two different APIs. Users can add stocks to their watchlist, which is saved under their profile. Inspired by TMX.com, this project reflects my 10 years of experience in finance and my desire to create a finance-oriented platform based on a website I frequently used at work.
TruckTrack is a React Native mobile app designed to help truck drivers create profiles, enter their timesheets, and share them with their accountants effortlessly. Surprisingly, most truck drivers still fill out forms manually. After a long trip, the last thing they want is to spend another 30 minutes in their truck filling out paperwork. This app, which was requested by a trucker, is currently in beta.
Even before the pandemic, the rise of online retailing was devastating shopping malls and brick-and-mortar stores. Research showed that 96% of the decline in shopping mall revenue was due to Amazon alone. The pandemic has further intensified these challenges for retailers. I believe that data science can play a crucial role in analyzing customer traffic. By using regression analysis, stores can gain deeper insights into the factors that impact customer experience.
