The Quant Collective is a collection of projects I have worked/ am working on around the topics of Quantitative Finance. I always believed that knowledge sharing is the best way towards mastery, and this ideal motivated the creation of this page (and the associated github).
A small note about myself: I am currently pursuing a MSc in Quantitative Finance with the Singapore Management University. Prior to that, I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore. I first crossed paths with quant finance was back in my Sophomore year ages ago when I learnt about structured derivatives through my own reading. I was intrigued by the world of derivatives, the concepts and the theoretical intricacy of the instrument, which prompted me to begin a career in financial derivatives with Eurex - one of the global derivatives exchange in the world.
To embrace my love for derivatives and quantitative finance, and my root as an engineer, I created the moniker 'Finsinyur'. This is a word-play of 'Insinyur' - which means 'engineer' in Bahasa Melayu - with an 'F' as finance. This is a recognition of my SouthEast Asian root, and an ambition to help contribute to the growing pool of financial engineers in the region.
