About
Hey there! I'm Vivaan Rajesh, a freshman at Georgia Tech majoring in Computer Science. I'm passionate about technology and constantly looking for ways to improve my programming skills through projects. My ultimate goal is to become a successful software engineer, and I'm actively expanding my knowledge to stay ahead of the curve.
Beyond the Code
While computer science is my main focus, I also have a strong interest in finance. I've been actively investing in the stock market since I was 12 (my first pick? $DAL!), and I enjoy the challenge of analyzing markets and making informed decisions.

Projects
Portfolio Website
Welcome to the website you're currently exploring! Here, you'll discover a curated collection showcasing my past projects, invaluable experiences, educational background, and intriguing insights into my personal journey.
Stock Predictor
- This project consists of a machine learning model using historical S&P 500 data to forecast stock trends and price movements. Combined data visualization, feature engineering, and advanced modeling to deliver actionable market insights, with key achievements in data preprocessing, model development, backtesting, and prediction accuracy.
Spirit Quest
This project is an application that aims to improve school spirit activity by incentivizing participation to build a stronger school community.
Tetris: Retro Rush
This project consists of a game I developed using python. Similar to Tetris, this game incorporates the PyQt5 library to provide the user with a fun gaming experience!
Educate!
This link consists of the Educate website. Educate! is an application that aims to bridge the gap between international education. The product consists of a wide array of educational articles, raising awarness of the lack of equitable educational resources in some nations, and this product implements a book donation system to give everyone an opportunity for a good education.
Java Space Tower Defense
This code consists of a unique version of Ballons Tower Defense I developed using Java Swing. This product incorporates many advanced concepts in Java which results in an application that allows users to deploy towers to destroy spaceships that spawn at random times and random locations. After a certain number of space ships pass the towers, the user's score changes, and once it reaches 0 the game ends. Feel Free to download the program and try it out!
