Harvard CS50 – Web Track
A virtual stock trading web app for students and teachers.
A virtual stock trading web app for students and teachers.
Developed using Python, Flask, and Jinja2 templating, I engineered a dynamic web application that simulates stock trading for K-12 classrooms. Enhanced with HTML5, CSS3, and Bootstrap to provide an accessible user interface, this platform merges back-end robustness with front-end intuition to make financial literacy engaging and interactive.

Hosting & Database
Hosting & Database
Hosted locally for development and deployed via Platform as a Service (PaaS), this app leverages SQLite for persistent and efficient storage of user data and transactions. The database schema, built with schema.sql, ensures reliable management of registrations and trade histories. The full source code is available on my GitHub.
Real-Time Market Data
Real-Time Market Data
Powered by the AlphaVantage API, the app delivers live stock quotes for accurate buy/sell decisions. This enables core features such as price lookups (aka. quotes), buying and selling stocks (with share validation & affordability checks), portfolio tracking, and transaction history logs. API-driven data ensures a realistic trading simulation, complete with my custom "Add Cash" deposit feature for virtual fund management.
Security & Accessibility
Security & Accessibility
User authentication is secured using werkzeug.security for password hashing, ensuring safe logins. Bootstrap drives responsive, accessible design, with centered forms, alt text on images, and keyboard-navigable tables tailored for diverse learners. Features like funny (yet appropriate) apology templates, with dynamic error text, provide useful and user-friendly feedback that enhances user engagement.
This CS50x project sharpened my full-stack web development skills, merging back-end logic and database management with advanced front-end interactivity. Though rooted in Harvard's course guidelines, it evolved into a robust simulator that could extend to real-world applications, marking a key milestone in my programming journey.
