Featured projects
A cross-section of what I build — from autonomous robots to full-stack platforms and data pipelines.
AlgoTrading using Alpaca API
Algorithmic trading platform built on the Alpaca API for real-time market data and automated trade execution, powered by a custom machine learning model for predictive decision-making. The model continuously learns from weekly market data, retrains through backtesting, and self-optimizes to improve performance for subsequent trading cycles.
