Cryptocurrency Risk Calculator
Cryptocurrencies are risky investments in general. They can be highly volatile, have unrealistic market caps, and suffer from the effects of influencers on their price.At TheBigLeaf.com, we want to implement a Cryptocurrency Risk Calculator designed by YOU and YOUR TEAM!Required:- A risk calculator with an algorithm developed by The Big Leaf (and you!)- Implementation: Wordpress website using the Colibri theme/template- A drop-down menu or search bar to bring up any cryptocurrency from coinmarketcap.com or similar website- Automatic acquisition of key data from selected cryptocurrency from coinmarketcap.com or similar platformThe Idea:Take the data from reputable sites like coinmarketcap.com (etc.), present it to the user, and give them a basic-input dashboard to essentially calculate the apparent risk of a given cryptocurrency.For example a user may not care what the total market cap is and will want to give that a 'weight' of 0%.For example a user may be very risk averse and want to 'weigh' certain factors higher than others.For example a user may 'weigh' all factors equally high (in which case a default calculation results).Thus,We need the calculator UI, wordpress integration, the algorithm driving the calculation, and the data acquisition functionality

Project Management and Operations Support 2023
This project is an Umbrella project that covers many real-world Operations Management and Project Management opportunities at The Big Leaf and our partners/clients.The Goal: Support our team of expert consultants in Operations and Project Management on a given project
Application Development - Build an MVP
Project Overall into: We are seeking a team of diligent students to help us build a comprehensive reservation application aimed at simplifying restaurant operations and enhancing customer experiences. This app will offer a live view of the restaurant's floorplan, enabling customers to book available tables and pre-order their meals. Upon arrival, their orders will be relayed directly to the kitchen, ensuring efficient service. Furthermore, the application will allow restaurants to manage seating statuses and streamline their day-to-day operations. An intuitive pre-order system will include a dynamic menu, a user-friendly cart feature, and a secure payment gateway.Requirements: User Authentication: The app should support secure user registration, login, and profile management features.Real-time Floorplan View: Users should be able to view a live, simplistic representation of the restaurant's floorplan, showing the current status of tables (available, occupied, needs cleaning, etc.).Reservation System: Users should be able to reserve available tables, with their reservation reflected in real-time on the floorplan.Pre-order System: An intuitive interface should allow users to view the restaurant's menu, select items, add them to a cart, and pay in advance. Upon the customer's arrival, these orders should be automatically sent to the kitchen for preparation.Restaurant Management Interface: Restaurants should have a separate interface allowing them to update table statuses, manage the menu, and view incoming orders and reservations.Secure Payment Gateway: A reliable and secure system should be implemented for handling transactions.Notifications: Users should receive confirmation and reminder notifications for their reservations and updates on their pre-orders.Front End:For the front end, we suggest using ReactJS. Its component-based architecture will enable the team to build a highly interactive user interface. React Native can be used if a mobile application is also planned.Back End:Node.js is recommended for the back end due to its efficient handling of asynchronous requests and good performance in real-time applications, which will be critical for the live floorplan feature. Express.js can be used as the server framework.
