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.

Database framework for sql queries, execute and rollbacks In database management, it’s useful to define atomic blocks. And let’s say if something fails within this block, you can always revert to the initial state before any of the transaction happens.
