Skills

Projects

Toaster Notification System

At Bohler Engineering, I made a menu system to create notifications which would appear on the Bohler website. The menu would ask users for a notification style (Success, Error, Information), the location that the notification would appear, the duration of the notification, a start and end date for the notification to appear, and finally the message which would be displayed on the notification. After all the information is added, users would then save the notification data into a SQL server where it would wait until the start date arrives and would then reveal itself and cease appearing when the end date arrived.

Back Against Wall Street

While attending DeSales University, Me and two of my other classmates developed a website which would recommend stock options to users for our Software Engineering class. We wrote the website in HTML and Python with some help with Flask as well. It had multiple page which each performed a different action. The home page featured a table of stock recommendations which would change order based on the user's criteria of the best stocks of the day. The 'Add Stock' page would allow users to add stocks to our database which we did not previously have, as well as show how well that stock was currently doing. Finally, the Recommendation page would allow users to find stocks which they can by at a certain price and trend (ex. A stock between $4 and $20 with a positive trend).
