Style Momentum
Investing
Style Momentum investing is a Node.js website dedicated to showcasing my dad's unique investing method, which integrates both growth and value investing strategies. The project involved fetching stock ticker data through APIs and processing it with a custom algorithm on the backend, with results displayed via dynamic graphs on the frontend. Overcoming challenges in this project included incorporating AI-generated art into vector graphics and executing complex grid styling for an aesthetically pleasing and branded user interface.

Production Company
True Productions specializes in stage design, deployment, and technical production for events, offering services like detailed visualizations and on-site setups for festivals and tours. I used Webflow to build the website, ensuring full creative control without coding, while Google AdWords was leveraged to drive targeted traffic through optimized ad campaigns. Together, Webflow's design flexibility and AdWords' strategic targeting make the site both visually engaging and effectively positioned to attract clients seeking event production services.

Lyricall
API Calls
Lyricall is an API-based project developed to enhance my skills with RESTful services. This project retrieves song lyrics by using the Cheerio library to scrape content from web pages returned by API calls, a workaround to avoid the costs associated with full product access. Additionally, it integrates Twilio's text-to-speech technology to call a specified phone number and verbally deliver the lyrics, demonstrating innovative use of APIs and third-party services.
