Hello, I am Jiabao(Isaac) Lin. My personal website is https://blog.isaaclin.cn.

I am interested in Web Crawling, Cryptocurrency and Finance. I suppose most of my open-source projects will be around these fields in the future.

I have a great passion for the open-source community. Actually, my first line of code was written on GitHub. GitHub really leads me to get into the field of programming and gives me the opportunity to share my ideas with the world.

I was a student of Finance in my undergraduate years. Thanks to GitHub, I learned almost everything about programming from others' repositories on this community. Reading their codes and issues, cloning their repositories and deploying them on my personal computer helped me know more and more about this field. Currently, I am a graduate student in Computer Science and I know I love this field.

In the past, I learned from GitHub;
Now, I would like to give back to this community.

I am currently working on an open-source database about COVID-19 infection data, which is based on my real-time crawler because I would like to at least contribute something to overcome this epidemic. I also provided a daily-updated data warehouse on GitHub and a personal-hosted real-time API on my server, it has already been called more than 25 million times since January 31, 2020. For me, the contribution I could make is to help the researchers to get the latest and structured data as soon and precise as possible, and they will consequently be able to work on the data with the least effort and share the results.

In the near future, I have 2 projects which I would like to work on.

• API wrapper for the top-ranked cryptocurrency exchange

• Automatics to crawl and high-light the information about today's financial market, automatically update them on the website.

  P.S. I have already made a GUI version of this project, which is BlankerL/Market-Report-Generator, but there are too many dependencies and can only run on Windows, so I would like to offer a website version of it.
