About


I'm currenly working at Goldman Sachs as a Equity Derivatives Strat where we build automated pricing and trading systems for structured products. Prior to that I obtained my master's degree from CMU and undergraduate degree from HKUST. I also previously interned at Nvidia and Tencent where I worked on deep learning perception models.
