04-23-24 What Even is Prism? James Xu, Founder

Prism started with the simple goal of allowing me to explore more into the intersection of finance and computer science. It started with wanting to see what kind of "HFT" I could do on my own, paper trading on Alpaca and gathering data on Fintech companies that I had been manually trading (and actually profiting on!). From there, I joined Quant @ Illinois where I learned a lot more about what is going on behind the scenes at quant firms. Prism is now my personal archive of what I am learning and working on. A lot of it is very basic or even very random, but I hope I can keep sharing my learning journey here.
Maybe it could even end up being something big :)
