Stock Price History Pattern Matching Utility

System: Stock price history pattern matching utility

Technologies: Python (asyncio matplotlib mplfinance pandas...)

Problem: Build a system which identifies stocks that are currently in the process of repeating previously observed price history patterns, based on low-high and high-low trend time intervals.

Solution: Our solution involves iterative analysis of a large large database of stocks, gathered from web sources. Price histories are divided into progressively smaller time period bins, with duration labelled the "granularity" of the iteration. The pattern of trends across bins is compared with recent price movements to identify matching segments. We then used a visualisation system based on Japanese "renko" diagrams to depict matches in an easy-to-digest format.

Note this is a bespoke system created upon request; we provided no advice on stock selection methods.

Assembler's Factory Floor Time-Tracking App

System: Assembler's Factory Floor Time-Tracking App

Client: Whippendell Marine

Technologies: Raku, CRO, Template::Nest, jQuery, CSS, MySQL

Problem: Create an application that interfaces with the company's existing Teamwork-based project management system and enables assemblers to log time spent on jobs - with design according to client spec.

Solution: A set of "Element" modules were created in Raku which inherited from a base module responsible for making calls to the Teamwork API. Syncing of local application data was accomplished with an independent daemon looping over and caching necessary user and project information in a MySQL database. Server-side rendering created dynamic content with Template::Nest, and the front end assembled HTML chunks delivered from the backend with jQuery. The system was designed to be deployed to Android-based tablet as a PWA app.

Truck Loading Animation Web Application

 

System: Web application to display an interactive 3D animation of a truck loading a specified shipment

Client: Private

Technologies: .NET core, C#, Blender, Three.js, SQL

Problem: Create a web application which loads details of a user-specified shipment from a database, and depicts that shipment loading in a user-interactive animation.

Solution: This project integrates a number of separate areas of software engineering, including web development, 3D modelling and dynamic animation. The truck trailer with backgrounds and skybox were modelled in Blender, together with the Cargo bay and truck door opening animations - and these were imported into Three.js. Camera zoom and rotation were enabled using OrbitControls.js. The cargo box loading animation was created in Three.js directly using suitable vector mathematics, and the system mounted in a .NET core based framework. Specification of the shipment to load is provided by the user via a web form.
