About

Hi there!

Welcome to my sandbox.

Through this blog, I hope to share my thoughts on analytics and quantitative investment.

1 of the motivations in starting this blog is for me to think, learn, experiment, code, write and most importantly place well-informed bets/investments through the lens of my models + analysis.

Over the course of my life, I hope to stay insatiably curious. As a curious & keen learner, I’m constantly striving to improve myself through structured and unstructured learning.

Please contact me at jironghuang88@gmail.com if we share common interests!

If you’re interested to find out more about what I do, you may find my CV - compiled in latex - here.

Cheers,

Jirong

Database framework for sql queries, execute and rollbacks In database management, it’s useful to define atomic blocks.
