Applied Finance + Data Science | Systematic Equity Research

Building factor research that ships, not just backtests.

I work at the intersection of wholesale banking and systematic equity research. MSc Applied Finance (Singapore Management University) and MSc Business Analytics & Data Science (IE University, Madrid - in progress). Previously Strategic Equity Transactions at ING Singapore (equity-linked financing, total return swaps, margin loans, XVA/CVA pricing), with prior roles at Natixis Investment Managers, Arrowstreet Capital, and Chinabank Capital.

This profile is a curated showcase. In-progress work lives on a self-hosted GitLab; what's published here has been polished and stress-tested.
