Projects

A few things I've built. Each one taught me something I couldn't have learned from a tutorial.

• MarketRoom

  A social-first financial platform that unifies portfolio tracking, personalised news, and asset-linked discussion. Spring Boot REST API backed by PostgreSQL, with live prices from Polygon.io, news from MarketAux, and OpenAI for article ranking and daily summaries. React Native frontend, JWT auth, and AWS S3 for media.
