Kyle Shakespeare's profile picture

Hello!

I'm Kyle Shakespeare, a 3rd year Accounting and Finance and Computing student at Aberystwyth. I enjoy stock market analysis, building wealth through investing, and building tools to help people with finances.


My career goal is to apply my skills in data analysis, programming, and financial modeling in roles such as Quantitative Analysis, Asset Management, or Accounting, where I can contribute to data-driven decision making and innovative financial solutions.

Future Skills / Modules

Data Analysis

Machine Learning

During this module, I will cover:
  • Classification and Regression trees
  • Bayesian learning
  • Artificial Neural Networks
  • Support Vector Machines
  • Reinforcement Learning

As the finance industry continues using artificial intelligence to assist with accounting or using machine learning to do rapid algorithmic trading, machine learning will play a huge part in making sure it makes the best decision with all the available information.

Machine learning is something I have always wanted to learn but never knew how or where to start. Fortunately, this module will guide me through the fundamental concepts of machine learning, which I can then apply to future finance based projects to give me a hedge as an applicant.

Accounting

Group Accounting

Team work is crucial for any role, and in an accounting role where every detail needs to be precise, it's important to maintain constant and effective communication with all parties involved.

During this module, we will compare and understand the different methods of group accounting. This includes current methods and previous methods that are no longer in use. This will be a great way to learn from the mistakes of prior methodology to ensure we dont fall into bad practices.

Web Development

Portfolio Theory

This module will educate me on:
  • Total Risk Measure
  • Risk-return paradigm
  • Risk Aversion and Risk-averse investor's portfolio choice
  • Combining risky assets
  • Risk free assets
  • Market line and portfolio

I'm very excited to take this module as investing and researching risk is something I enjoy. Something that is really important in a financial advisory role or an asset managers role is risk. Learning risk aversion and the risk-return paradigm will be vital knowledge to be able to correctly advise clients on how to safely and effectively grow their wealth.

I am also very interested in "combining risky assets". Risk is something as a young male that I like to slighlty expose myself to in the markets, mainly prioritising compound growth in safer funds during the most important decade of my life for my wealth to compound. Everyone has their own risk tolerance in their portfolios, and knowing how to balance it with assets that will hedge against inflation, and potentially placing funds within more emerging markets and technologies is key to a diverse portfolio.

Unofficial MTS Stock Shortage System

This project solves a huge problem at Micheldever. As a warehouse operative, you have to get tyres from specific locations and put them where the vans will be loaded. However if we can't find the tyre, we would have to report it to stock operatives. The issue lies where the stock do not communicate whether the tyre has been found or not which creates delays. This allows the stock operatives to post the short stock so we can check as we are loading vans to know for certain what should and shouldn't be there.

All-in-one Portfolio Tracker

This is an in-progress, large scale project I am working on. As someone who owns multiple asset types, I find it hard to track it all in one area. This is where this app is useful. It will track all asset types and give detailed analysis of the users portfolio. This project doesn't plan on having actual access to users portfolios, but you will be able to manually or automatically upload transactions and track your growth over time.

Unofficial MTS Salary and Budget Calculator

This was my first project I created with HTML, and JavaScript/jQuery. My idea was to create a basic project with a business specific style that can be used by anyone (even if not working at micheldever). I experimented with Micheldevers colour scheme and tried to make it as simple as possible.

The user can now budget based off their forecasted salary with the help of ApexCharts to visualise the data.
