How we built it

We built Finly using a versatile tech stack tailored to each aspect of financial management:

• Integrated Financial Planning Software: Developed using Node.js and Django for the backend, MongoDB and PostgreSQL for the database, and React and Angular for the frontend.

• Automated Budgeting Software: Implemented with Ruby on Rails and Laravel for the backend, MySQL and SQLite for the database, and Vue.js and Bootstrap for the frontend.

• Advanced Fraud Detection Systems: Built using Python, Flask as the framework, TensorFlow and PyTorch for machine learning, and MongoDB and Cassandra for data storage.

• Robo-Advisors and Machine Learning for Portfolio Optimization: Utilized Java, Spring Boot for the backend, and Angular and React for the frontend. Python with pandas and NumPy was used for machine learning components.

Challenges we ran into

• Integration Complexity: Integrating various financial tools and ensuring seamless communication between platforms posed integration challenges that required careful planning and testing.

• Machine Learning Model Tuning: Fine-tuning machine learning models for predictive analysis and portfolio optimization required iterative adjustments to achieve optimal performance.

• Security Concerns: Addressing security concerns and implementing robust measures to protect user data and financial information demanded thorough attention.
