Joshua Litven’s interactive optimization lab
A quantitative developer’s portfolio built around an interactive demo for exploring optimization algorithms and constraints.
- For
- People exploring optimization algorithms and trading systems
- Worth noticing
- The lab offers four named algorithm choices and controls for rotating the objective and moving or drawing constraints.
Field notes
The lab frames optimization as a two-variable problem, with a green feasible region and an arrow indicating the objective direction. Its controls include algorithm selection, step and reset actions, movable or drawable constraints, and preset level lines and integer solutions. The author also lists projects beyond the finance work, including a Portuguese tutor, a Spotify hotkey tool, and a West Coast Swing practice app. Impact figures on the homepage are the author's own reported results.
