Columbia University Engineering, New York FinTech BootCamp

August 2022 Cohort

Passive Investing exchange-traded fund (ETF)

Objective - to script a financial database and web application using SQL, Python, and the Voilà library to analyze the performance of a hypothetical FinTech ETF.

Beyond the scope of the assignment, the author sought to conduct additional refinement and/or analysis of the data obtained and demonstrate further visualization.... Supplemental and/or extra analysis beyond the scope of the project is noted as 'supplemental' were approrpiate.


Methods

The code script analysis performed:

Step I - Analyze a single asset in the FinTech ETF, provide visualization

viz1

viz2

Step I - Supplementals analyze all individual assets in the FinTech ETF, provide visualization

viz3

viz4

Step II - Optimize the SQL Queries, analyze the ETF overall cumulative performance, provide visualization

viz5

Dependencies

This project leverages Jupyter Lab v3.4.4 and python v3.7 with the following packages:

  • numpy - Software library, NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing in Python, provides vast functionality.

  • pandas - Software library written for the python programming language for data manipulation and analysis.

  • read_sql_query - From 'pandas', read SQL query into a DataFrame; returns a DataFrame corresponding to the result set of the SQL query string.

  • concat - From 'pandas', concatenate pandas objects along a particular axis, allows optional set logic along the other axes.

  • hvplot - provides a high-level plotting API built on HoloViews that provides a general and consistent API for plotting data into numerous formats listed within linked documentation.

  • SQLAlchemy - the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL.

  • Engine - From 'SQLAlchemy', the starting point for any SQLAlchemy application; creates a tailored Dialect object, as well as a Pool object which will establish a DBAPI connection.

  • Inspection - From 'SQLAlchemy', inspection module provides the inspect() function, which delivers runtime information about a wide variety of SQLAlchemy objects, both within the Core as well as the ORM.
