JPMorgan Chase Software Engineering Virtual Experience Program

This repository contains my solutions for the JPMorgan Chase Software Engineering Virtual Experience Program. Through this program, I gained practical experience by completing tasks that simulate real-world challenges faced by software engineers at JPMorgan Chase. Each task is designed to enhance specific technical skills and provide insight into the work culture at JPMorgan Chase.

Repository Structure

The repository is organized into three main tasks, each placed in its respective folder:

• swe-task-1: Interface with a Stock Price Data Feed
• swe-task-2: Use JPMorgan Chase & Co. Frameworks and Tools
• swe-task-3: Display Data Visually for Traders

Task Descriptions

Task 1: Interface with a Stock Price Data Feed

  • Understanding the structure and purpose of an engineering ticket.
• Activities:
  • Download and install the necessary files, tools, and dependencies.
  • Fix the broken client datafeed script in the repository.
  • Optionally add unit tests in the test script in the repository.

Task 2: Use JPMorgan Chase & Co. Frameworks and Tools

• Folder: swe-task-2
• Objective: Implement the Perspective open-source code in preparation for data visualization.
• Key Learnings:
  • How to install npm to work in JavaScript.
  • The reasons behind JPMorgan Chase creating Perspective and its value as an open-source library.
