About Me
Hi! I’m Shawn.
I Code
I love learning new stuff to make stuff, and coding is the tool.
I’m a full-stack developer and run a remote web development agency.
My clients hire me because I can help them launch MVP fast.
My programming languages: Typescript, Javascript, Vue.js, React.js, Node.js, Python, R, MongoDB, GraphQL, AWS Serverless, Rust.
Right now I’m focused on Web3 and DeFi.
Would love to contribute to decentralization. Let’s talk.
I’m a Polygot
I speak 5 languages: English, Malay, Korean, Chinese, and Cantonese.
New language put me out of my comfort zone and remind me to be brave at making mistakes.
The reward is I get to open the heart of other people.
I’m a Quant
Did my Master degree in Financial Engineering and worked 3 years as a quantitative researcher.
I specialized in:
- analyzing portfolio risk
- evaluating investments
- programming portfolio monitoring tools
- code and backtest trading strategies.
Why did I left my finance job to work on tech? Because it’s hard to beat HODL.
Now with Web3 and DeFi, I can leverage my quant and coding skills to contribute to decentralization.
I’m a Minimalist
I follow r/BuyItForLife, r/OneBag, and r/Vim.
I don’t buy presents on friend’s birthday. I give out crypto wallets.
Minimalism rewires my brain to always think “What I don’t need”. I guess that’s why I’m good at coding MVP.
