TariffEdge is an autonomous trading system that turns geopolitical and trade-policy signals into executable options trades. It monitors global news through the GDELT 2.0 API, mapping tariff escalations, export bans, and supply-chain disruptions to relevant US-listed tickers — for example, steel tariffs to NUE, semiconductor export controls to SMH, and oil-related tensions to XLE. Every candidate trade passes through a deterministic risk gate before execution: a $500 max-loss cap per trade, a 3-position concentration limit, and spread-integrity validation. Trades that clear the gate are built as defined-risk bull call or bear put debit spreads and submitted as multi-leg orders directly to Alpaca's paper trading API. Every decision — passed or blocked, with full reasoning — is logged to an immutable audit trail. A live dashboard (built on Next.js 16 and React 19) streams incoming signals, open positions, exposure by sector, and the full decision timeline in real time, auto-refreshing every 30 seconds.

VoiceShop is a next-generation voice-commerce platform designed to revolutionize online shopping by making it as simple as speaking. Users interact with the web app through a single microphone button, stating their product requests naturally—such as “Order two large pepperoni pizzas.” The app captures speech using the browser’s Web Speech API, transcribes it to text, and sends the request to Groq’s OpenAI-compatible API powered by the Llama 3.3-70B Versatile model. The AI parses the spoken request, returning a structured JSON order that includes items, quantities, and options. The cart updates in real time, allowing users to review and modify their selections. Checkout is streamlined with a one-click Stripe integration, simulating a complete purchase flow. The platform is built with a mobile-first, progressive web app design, ensuring accessibility and speed across devices. VoiceShop leverages no-code tools like Bubble for backend data management and Firebase Hosting for rapid deployment. The result is a robust, hackathon-ready MVP that demonstrates the power of AI and voice interfaces to create intuitive, efficient, and delightful shopping experiences. This project showcases seamless integration of sponsor technologies, rapid prototyping, and a user-centric approach to e-commerce innovation.
