Summary
Anthony Khong is a data scientist and entrepreneur with 11 years' experience building research-driven ML and optimisation systems across algorithmic trading, retail, and product experimentation. He co-founded Zero One Group and now a stealth AI startup in Jakarta, bringing hands-on expertise in Bayesian modelling, computational statistics, and production ML. At Agoda he led A/B testing platform work and developed automated bidding and loyalty research products, and earlier roles included high-performance scientific computing with Python, C++ and CUDA. His academic credentials—MSc in Applied Statistics from Oxford and an MPhil in Economic Research from Cambridge—are matched by teaching econometrics at Cambridge and delivering material cost savings via industrial optimisation. Comfortable at the intersection of research and product, he combines rigorous probabilistic modelling with clean-code, TDD-driven engineering practices. A detail that sets him apart: he has repeatedly translated high-end academic methods into fast, pragmatic systems that produced measurable business impact.
