Alongside the pursuit of his two majors, he pushed himself to complete a minor in Economics to be able to understand business issues through a macro lens. During his time there, he also engaged in multiple diverse work opportunities, including working in data analytics for the Ontario government and as a DevOps developer for a SaaS company. His most notable experiences include working in the asset management side of insurance companies, such as AIA Hong Kong and Equitable Life of Canada. He advised on company-level investment proposals by employing his experience in Python and Excel, and configured expansive investment databases to streamline trading processes.
