Slicker Tickers

Web app built with Django and Python, utilizing Celery and Redis as a message queue.  Slickertickers cross references the biggest loser’s list from the Wall Street Journal and applies an algorithm to determine which ones should be considered for further research and purchasing. Data points are kept in the database once a stock has been tracked for graphing and long-term analysis.  Color coded recommendations allow users to quickly determine the viability of a stock. The site has averaged a 12% monthly gain in purchased stocks during it’s active months.

HydraVPN

A VPN infrastructure based on Django and OpenVPN for an infinite scaling failover server network. Redis and Celery are used for tasks. Authentication is tested against a mySQL database with API keys, ignoring the need for certifications and an easier revoke method. OpenVPN servers are managed via a custom application that monitors and utilizes the OpenVPN management console. Restful APIs exist on both master and slave servers for updating and transfer of data, while client packages are maintained by connect and disconnect scripts.

Source code is key in a private repository.
