Side Projects
Things I've Built
Automated Trading Signal Script
Built during my time leading IFSA's Fintech department: a scheduled script that pulled market data, applied a rules-based strategy, and flagged buy/sell signals automatically.
News Sentiment Analysis Pipeline
A Python pipeline that scraped financial news articles, scored sentiment per company or asset, and used the output as a weighted input for trading decisions.
SDG Sentiment Collector
A tool that scraped news articles and classified sentiment around UN Sustainable Development Goal topics, built to explore how media tone tracks against specific SDG themes over time.
2D Platformer Game
A small platformer built from scratch to learn game loop logic, collision handling, and level design, not to ship anything polished.
Tabletop Rules Lookup Tool
A small web tool for quickly searching and cross-referencing rules for tabletop games, built because flipping through rulebooks mid-game got old fast.
Data & Automation Pipelines
ETL scripts, scrapers, and AI-assisted extraction tools built across internships, including reverse-engineering a national registry and large-scale property data extraction.

Outside Work
A few things I do when I'm not looking at a spreadsheet or a terminal.
Guitar
Fingerstyle, mainly for myself.
Miniature Painting
Tabletop figures, slow and detail-heavy.
3D Printing
Small parts, electronics fixes, and the occasional painting rack.
Laser Cutting
Cutting and engraving, usually for the same projects as the 3D printing.
Reading
Fiction, mainly, when there's time for it.
Jogging
A way to think, mostly, with some exercise as a side effect.
