Empowering Decisions: Advanced Portfolio Analysis and Management through Shiny
Lighting Talk, 1:40-1:45
In this talk, I present a pioneering system for portfolio analysis and management, crafted using the power of Shiny and the versatility of the Plumber API. Our objective was to disrupt the status quo by offering immediate, actionable insights through a highly interactive toolset, designed with the user firmly at the center. I will discuss the journey of developing reusable Shiny modules, which stand as the pillars of this user-centric innovation, providing tailored solutions for diverse financial scenarios. I will explore the system's architecture, highlighting the Plumber API's dual functionality. Not only does it drive our system, but it also embraces other applications, reflecting a seamless cross-platform integration. This reflects our system's unique ability to span across different teams and adapt to varying technological ecosystems. The crux of our system is its ability to convert intricate financial data into a lively and engaging experience. This is made possible through a bespoke R package that synergizes with the ag-grid JavaScript library, allowing for intuitive and potent interaction with financial data grids. Attendees of this session will gain insights into the innovative application of Shiny and Plumber API in financial analytics, embodying a novel approach that prioritizes a user-first philosophy, code reusability, and cross-platform operability. The takeaways promise a compelling vision of financial analysis and decision-making, powered by R's flexible and robust capabilities.
