hootnot - Overview

Hi there 👋

I'm a software developer with strong finance roots from the early eighties. (Stocks, options, Forex, ...). I am also a huge fan of REST-API's and author of some Python libraries to enable trading by algorithm and have easy access to the REST-API's of OANDA and SAXO Bank, to make trading 24 hrs/day possible (Forex). Check the repositories for details:

  • oanda-api-v20 (pypi: oandapyV20)
  • saxo_openapi (pypi: saxo_openapi)

Recently I've created the virtual_finance_api library to have easy access to financial data from multiple sources on the web.

When it comes to development, I like to see the full picture, so components like Redis, Postgesql, Docker, ... are key products for me as well.

Further more I love Pandas to deal with data.

Beside development I also have a strong background in unix/linux system administration. Though I use mostly Ubuntu these days, I'm also familiar with CentOS, RedHat, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and a bit SuSE and of course: virtualisation using KVM and Proxmox
