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.

Novel LLM-based Analytic System to Support Asset Price Prediction

 

System:  Specific details are protected by NDA. However, this system - developed over a number of years - involved creation of a unique architecture utilising LLM technology in a novel way. 

Client: NDA Protected

Technologies: Llama3-70B (and other LLM and ML models), vLLM, Python, Transformers, Algorithms

Problem: NDA Protected - but relates to asset price prediction

Solution: The innovative approach involved making an analogy between the "fuzzy" system we needed to model, and certain more rigorously defined mathematical/physical systems. Specific details are NDA protected. For the implementation we took advantage of per-hour cloud GPU rental to perform the necessary heavy processing as cost-efficiently as possible.
