Quantitative Finance

hello@victoryap.com

Welcome to my website! My name is Victor. I started my career as a backend developer before becoming a frontend developer. Currently, I am in the Quantitative Finance Industry.

I am interested in the finance and global markets because it is a world of possibilities. I seek the best way to formulate and implement various algorithmic strategies.

I usually write down my research and thought process on Medium. Apart from writing, I also improve my skillsets by developing side projects. There projects can be found on Github. If you are interested, feel free to connect with me on Linkedin!
