Summary
Innovative and resilient technology professional with expertise in web development, automation, AI integration, and system optimization, complemented by 8 years of hands-on experience in customer service and table management. As a Co-founder of DGT-Finance in Houston, Texas, I led the development of an algorithmic trading system for the Forex market. After encountering challenges with the MetaQuotes library due to U.S. government sanctions, we pivoted to creating a custom library using GraalVM to seamlessly integrate Java and Python for API querying and algorithm development. My experience extends to full-stack development, building scalable and interactive applications such as AiGiene, a ChatGPT-powered interface that utilizes WebSockets for real-time AI response streaming and employs Redux and TypeScript for efficient state management. Additionally, I developed an automated job application tool using Python and Selenium, streamlining LinkedIn applications with intelligent search criteria and real-time logging. With a strong foundation in risk management and algorithmic trading, I also collaborated with financial analysts, optimized portfolio stability, and applied rigorous testing to improve system accuracy. My customer service background has strengthened my ability to develop user-centric solutions, troubleshoot issues, and optimize performance across various domains.

- Our company's goal was to create an algorithm for trading in the forex market
- We initially used the MetaQuotes library, which was a wonderful asset that made our development and backtesting processes easier to handle
- However, towards the end of our project, or the 'Landing Stage,' as we liked to call it, the U.S.
- Government imposed sanctions on the forex trading market, causing MetaQuotes to withdraw from the U.S Market
- This threw a wrench in our final stage
- Instead of giving up, we decided to build our own library using GraalVM, an environment that uses the Java language to support Python scripting, allowing the languages to work together seamlessly
- In the application we used java for the API Querying and Python for creating the algorithmic strategies
- Implemented risk management strategies and algorithms to optimize trading performance and ensure portfolio stability
- Collaborated with financial analysts to integrate market insights and data into trading algorithms
- Conducted rigorous testing and refinement of our code to improve accuracy and responsiveness
