Projects

Stock and Weather Reporting Bot   GitHub Link   Download

  • Utilized web scraping to display weather information from TheWeatherChannel that is updated in real-time as well as the top 5 stock gainers and top 5 losers from Yahoo Finance, which is also updated in real-time.
  • Allowed for user input to allow the keywords “stocks” and “weather” to be sent in, so that the program knows what type of information to output for the user
  • Made using Python, with usage of the BeautifulSoup imported library.

Portfolio Website

  • Built a portfolio website to display my personal summary, projects, and contact information, while improving my knowledge in web development in the process.
  • Used HTML to construct the majority of the website before researching ways to improve the flow of my code
  • Styled the website using CSS stylesheets to make the website colorful and enforcing my knowledge of front-end development.

Social Media Engagement Project

  • Worked with a team of 4 other computer science students to create an object-oriented program to calculate and display levels of engagement on social media channels.
  • Lead the creation of the GUI and calculator class, which contained the algorithm used to sort through the engagement data based on type and compile it into engagement totals to be displayed.
  • The program was created using Java and when calculating engagement levels, the calculation could be modified to specify certain months, quarters, or types of engagement.
