Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Barrett is a quantitative developer with over 15 years’ experience across Asia-Pacific equities, combining deep statistical modelling and database stewardship with hands-on coding in Python, C#, VBA and SQL. He has led alpha research and portfolio risk work at institutional firms, built production-ready tools for TAA and CTA strategies, and managed regional quant teams to deliver client-facing models and analytics. His MSc in Computer Science from HKU underpins a practical fluency in machine learning, big-data workflows and probability simulation applied to investment forecasting. Equally comfortable translating stakeholder requirements into GUIs and production systems, he has a track record of improving model attribution, automating data integrity checks and migrating legacy platforms to .NET. Based in Hong Kong, he’s as committed to collaborative, diverse teams as he is to hunting for statistically robust edges in large, messy datasets.
