In school, I haven\u2019t had much practice working with code written by others, but I recognize that this is a critical skill in the real world. Since I handle the front end, I am also responsible for integrating back-end code. While I can grasp what the code is meant to do, understanding how it works in detail is essential for seamless integration. To overcome this challenge, I have taken the initiative to ask my teammates questions and carefully dissect their code line by line to ensure I fully understand it before proceeding with integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose this project because I have a strong interest in investing and wanted to deepen my knowledge in the field. I was excited by the idea of building something practical\u2014something I could actually use to benefit me financially. Along the way, I have also gained valuable insights into trading strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, who will use our project? Our project mentor, Chester, as well as other employees at Levrum, will utilize the final product. Additionally, my teammates and I will have the opportunity to use it ourselves, which makes this project even more rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a team, we are making steady progress and are confident that we will deliver a well-functioning, high-quality product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~Madison Dowell<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am part of the Cloud-Based Algorithmic Trading Strategies for Individual Investors team, where I am responsible for the front-end development.
