Work Experience

Sunrise Credit Services, Inc. - Programming Analyst Intern

As a Programming Analyst Intern, I’ve gained hands-on experience working with jBase, MultiValue databases, and web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and AJAX. This role has helped me build skills in both backend and frontend development while working with legacy code infastructure. I’ve focused on analyzing and improving existing code, identifying bugs, and making performance enhancements. I’ve also worked closely with the Programming Manager to troubleshoot issues and streamline workflows. Additionally, I’ve contributed to documenting code and processes to improve clarity and collaboration within the team.

All Star Code - Summer Intensive Student

I was selected for All Star Code's competitive 2020 Summer Intensive Program, where I developed front-end skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript through hands-on projects. I also honed soft skills like public speaking, pitching, and collaboration. Additionally, I was mentored by a Goldman Sachs Software Engineer, gaining insights into industry best practices and professional growth.

Day Trading Risk Assessment

This Day Trading Risk Assessment helps you determine your stop loss and target prices based on how much you're willing to risk. You input the stock price, number of shares purchased, and your risk amount, and it calculates the stop loss price to limit your loss. It also shows the target prices for 1x, 2x, and 3x risk-to-reward ratios, with gain amounts in green and loss amounts in red. Use it to set your trading strategy and manage your risk effectively. This is not financial advice.
