Building a path toward Quantitative Finance

Hi, I'm Duong

I love turning abstract math into something concrete like writing combinatorics books, AI research, and now applying computing to finance problems.

Current Program BSc Applied Computing in Finance
Focus Areas Quantitative Finance, AI, Web Development

About Me

Nguyen Hoang Duong

I'm currently studying Applied Computing in Finance at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. From teaching A-level Mathematics, Further Mathematics, and Physics to leading a team to participate in a combinatorics research competition, I’ve always enjoyed bringing clarity to difficult ideas and solving big challenges.

I like combining mathematical reasoning with programming and tools like LaTeX to build structured, high-quality learning materials. Whether it’s writing a combinatorics textbook, designing exam-style problem sets, or coding simulations, I care about precision and clear explanation.

Right now, I’m working at the intersection of mathematics, computing, and finance and preparing for a future in quantitative research ,financial technology and AI research.

🏆 Special Prize – Math Research 2023 & 2024 🥈 Silver Medal – Mathematics Olympiad 🥇 Top 3 – HSGS Olympiad 📚 Cambridge A-Level 3A* Achiever

If I had to describe myself in one sentence:

I used to be someone who shattered under pressure but I chose not to stay broken. Now, I’m rebuilding myself steadily, shaping a stronger foundation with every challenge I overcome. This chapter isn’t my finish line. It’s my beginning.
