Profile

I am a web developer with TypeScript as my main language, bringing deep experience in the JavaScript ecosystem in both frontend and Node.js or Deno. With a hands-on mentality I am able to weild the force of Next.js, Nuxt, Remix, React, Vue, and Astro. Furthermore I am gaining proficiency in Go and DevOps.

I am highly motivated in expanding my horizons day by day for better maintainability, testing and user experience.

Projects

School Seating Plan

Still in development

App for Teachers to Create a Seating Plan

Teachers can create a seating plan from scratch in a custom grid by placing tables and students via drag-n-drop. The app provides an auto-arragement feature, that rearranges students base on constraints the teacher may provide. There are three types of constraints:

  • Student needs to sit in first or last row.
  • Student must not sit next certain other student(s).
  • Arrange all male and female students alternatingly.
  • Teachers can share their seating plan via a URL or save the plan as PDF.

Stock Trend Strategy

In Development

Calculation of Buy Signals based on the Elder Force Index (EMA + MACD)

Deno Worker + FastAPI server + React Frontend
OHLC daily candles of S&P500 and NASDAQ100 stocks are downloaded daily from the Alpaca API. Based on the OHLC daily candles, buy signals are calculated and persisted in an SQLite database. The signals can be 'backtested' in the frontend with various parameters (Risk-Reward Ratio, Exit Criteria) to evaluate signal performance. Currently, the stock chart is displayed in the React frontend using the Google-Charts library.
