About Me

Hi! My name is Howie and I am currently a junior at Harvard studying Applied Math with a focus on Computer Science and Economics. I'm currently interested in product engineering, automation, and data analysis. In my free time I like to play poker, League of Legends, and binge Netflix.

This website is still under development so sorry if there are any bugs!

Pokernow Log Analyzer

Python script for calculating statistics from Pokernow game logs. Over the pandemic, the Pokernow site has surged in popularity and unlike established sites like PokerStars, there is no software that accomodates its logs. When I finish implementing the calculations I plan on turning it into a webapp with the Python streamlit library.

Robinhood Trading Bot

A simple robinhood trading bot. Currently working towards simple moving average strategies for single stocks, but I want to eventually incorporate a Twitter/reddit sentiment scraper and options chain scraper to inform trades. The ultimate goal is to build out my own automated options trader.

OpenAI Gym Environment Extension

This was part of a research project focusing on multiagent reinforcement learning that I contributed to. In order to better understand multiagent RL algorithms in practice, I extended the basic OpenAI taxi environment by introducing the concept of fuel, multiple passengers, multiple taxis, and flexible grid sizes.
