A collection of my favorite competitive programming problems and my solutions in C++.
cses_solutions
Solutions to the CSES problem set.
dgqt_trading_strategy
A trading strategy in Python using RSI and the stochastic oscillator, backtested with market data from 2010-2020. I earned 47% portfolio weight in UChicago DGQT's (Derivatives Group Quant Trading) paper trading portfolio.

math_reu_2021
My paper from the UChicago Mathematics REU 2021, entitled "Riemann-Roch through the Dollar Game." Also included are all six problem sets and my solutions written in LaTeX.
nepal_earthquake
An analysis of building damage following the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake using data provided by the Nepalese Central Bureau of Statistics. After data exploration and feature engineering, I used Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Neural Network to predict damage grade, achieving 74.8% accuracy on unseen data.
titanic_survival_prediction
Using the Titanic dataset from Kaggle, I applied machine learning algorithms with Scikit-Learn (Logistic Regression, SVM, Multilayer Perceptron, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting) to predict survival, using Seaborn for data visualization. I scored top 2% of 13400 submissions.
