Featured Projects
Investment Performance Visualizer - Leveraged ETFs & Savings
Compares the performance of two stock market tickers across a selectable time frame and an initial investment using data visualizations and its % difference. Makes suggestions to compare popular tickers to leveraged ETF variants (i.e. NVDA and NVDL). There is also a tool to calculate compound savings based on interest and daily/monthly/yearly contributions with an accompanying data visualization. I made this because I wanted to see if leveraged ETFs could perform better than the normal stock, despite volatility decay.
GPU Price Prediction - Data Analysis & Modelling
Clean and preprocessed data to train a random forest and ridge regression model for a GPU Price Prediction system. Created data visualizations with Plotly (i.e. Distribution of Retail Prices ) while providing descriptive statistics. Takes in Wattage, VRAM, 3DMark Score, Year, and Month to predict the price of a GPU. Predicted the specs of an RTX 5090 would be > $2000. It ended up being more than $2000 due to scalper pricing.
YouTube Video Summarizer - Open-Weight LLM
A Manifest V3 Chrome Extension that summarizes the YouTube video page in the current tab. Able to switch between local inference with Ollama or remote inference with Groq. Created some template for the LLM to follow as well as adjusting its parameters like temperature and context size for consistent results. I made this because I wanted to summarize YouTube videos conveniently without going to another website or paying for another service. Helps save some time as well.
