Hi, I'm Jeron Liaw

Jeron Liaw

About Me

I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Business Analytics with a Second Major in Quantitative Finance at the National University of Singapore. As a CSC Asia Campus Scholar, I combine technical expertise with business acumen to solve complex problems in finance and technology.

My journey spans quantitative research, machine learning, data science, and full-stack development. I've developed machine learning trading strategies at PhillipCapital, optimised logistics operations at Shopee, and built blockchain solutions that won top prizes at hackathons. I'm passionate about applying advanced analytics and algorithms to real-world challenges.

Beyond academics and work, I serve as Director of NUS Fintech Society Quant Department, champion hackathons, and enjoy singing-songwriting, guitar, floorball, and bouldering. I also love lateral-thinking puzzles or just anything that requires creative problem solving!
