My Background
Hi there ! I’m Jason, a Quantitative Finance graduate and Malaysian scientist working at Fidelity International Hong Kong.
I’m a scientist inside and outside of work to achieve one mission, Predicting the Unpredictable. I have always been fascinated of how data can be manipulated and enriched in many scientific ways to discover ground breaking insights and predict the unthinkable.
As much as this discipline is a science, it is equally of an art to me. From cleansing the messiest data to engineering new relationships in data, I creatively utilize data and technology to paint the bigger picture.
My Learning Philosophy
I’m an advocate of being strong in the fundamentals. I love learning the math and theory behind algorithms and then bring them to live by coding it from scratch. I like to learn the nuts of bolts of the algorithms as it gives me a full understanding of what I’m doing instead of using it as a black box.
Besides the fundamentals, I also believe in application. I believe in initiating projects that put my skills to the test from end to end. Skills are nothing if one does not put it to use.
What’s a Batman with a batmobile who can’t stop crime and what’s a Superman with a suit who can’t save the world?
Lastly, I believe in lifelong learning. I continuously keep up with the latest tech, methodology, and news surrounding my passion as I believe this is how I will continue upskilling and truly age like fine wine.
