Projects

  • Robinhood Stock Analysis (2016)
    Developed a python script to download stock transactions into a local database and analyze it for FIFO realized unrealized losses and gains.
  • Home Automation System (2015)
    Built a home automation system to control appliances using a Raspberry Pi and a relay module. The control UI was built using HTML5 and web sockets. Web socket server was created using ws4py and CherryPy. This lets multiple users operate the UI simultaneously without compromising the UI state.
