Hi! I'm Donna.
I’m a data science and business administration undergraduate student. Currently, I have experience in financial market research, risk analytics, and algorithmic trading. Although I wouldn’t say I am the best, I also have experience in marketing in the aerospace industry. Currently, I’m looking for an internship position where I can bring my skills, programming expertise, and research-driven mindset to contribute to a fast-paced team.
Below are a list of my finance-related projects. Click on them to view the source code on GitHub!
For this project, I created neural network models to forecast a year’s worth of stock prices for 100 companies on the S&P 500 using daily closing prices with a median model performance of an R2 of 0.93.
For this project, I learned about the crypto trading industry and used skills for big data to process, analyze, and recommend a trading strategy for beginner traders in cryptocurrency using the Binance full history dataset.
For this project, I compared the performance of portfolios from principal component analysis, rotationally invariant estimator, the Markowitz Portfolio Optimization model, and the Fama-French Three-Factor Model to determine which one would be best suited for different investor trading appetites using their Sharpe ratios.
For this project, I improved short-horizon trading decisions by creating a GARCH volatility forecasting model against baseline methods which consistently yielded predictive accuracy and more profitable, risk-aware trading returns.
For this project, my teammates and I developed a website that would recommend business locations for Filipino SMEs that upholds the Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11) which won second place in Hackercup 2025, an interuniversity hackathon.
