AWS Club

During the Spring 2024 semester, AWS Club held the AWS - solutions architect associate workshop series. There was a total of 6 workshops an introduction, 4 domain workshops, and a review. I've participated in this series and won the 1st Prize in the solutions architect quiz held at the end and won a 1 year udemy business subscription sponsored by AWS. 2 months after the last workshop I used the Udemy subscription to study for the exam and got certified in May 2024.

ACM Research: Panda and Pairwise Trading

Conducted groundbreaking research under the guidance of UTD Professor Dr. Octavious Smiley, translating the PANDA algorithm (originally used for gene network reconstruction) into the financial domain to develop a pairs trading strategy, achieving cumulative returns of 95% over an 8-year period during backtesting. I've personally developed the Copula pairs trading algorithm to backtest both the baseline and PANDA Algorithm(not on github as this was done on quant connect). Checkout GitHub here

Nebula Labs & AIAA: Software Developer

In AIAA I was in a project called Aero which was sponsored by Intel. In this project we were given a drone and a destination and had to find a path around obstacles with machine learning using the data given by the camera on the drone.

In Nebula Labs, I was a front end developer for the project Survival Guide(Reddit Clone for UTD) developing various pages like the FAQ page, home linking, and other features.

Fraternity Involvement: Phi Delta Theta & Theta Tau

I wanted to join fraternities to develop a professional network and social skills but they have since offered me much more than my expectations.

I joined Phi Delta Theta in Fall 2023 and have been elected the Fundraising Chair for the 2024 year. I've raised the most amount of money in any semester since the founding of this chapter in Spring 2024 by creating innovative events and coordinating profit shares with local restaurants.

I joined Theta Tau Engineering Fraternity in Fall 2023 where I am currently leading a team to build and add to the features of the website for the fraternity. Checkout GitHub here
