Quantitative Trader
Singapore
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJirong Huang is a quantitative trader and data-driven portfolio manager with 11 years of experience building systematic strategies and production-grade trading infrastructure from Singapore. He combines a strong economics and statistics background with hands-on software engineering—developing automated algorithmic trading systems, three PyPI packages, and multi-strategy risk-managed portfolios that have delivered Sharpe ratios above 2 and an audited track record of consistent positive returns. At Eastspring he managed billions in AUM, designing ML- and NLP-driven factors, bespoke beta solutions and automated dev-ops pipelines, while earlier roles in government and research honed his forecasting, text-analytics and policy-evaluation skills. He is completing an MS in Computer Science (Georgia Tech) while publishing code and write-ups on his GitHub and blog, preferring experiments with “skin in the game” over armchair theorizing. Notably, he applies first-principles thinking and simulated annealing-inspired decision rules to portfolio construction, favoring delta/market-neutral, downside-protecting approaches and daily local-optimal actions.
