I’ve learned actuarial science for almost 7 years and I am working in financial industry as a quant.
My father bought me a computer when I was 10 years old (around 2000) and I felt love in it immediately. However, I had to learn everything by myself because there’s simply no people knew much about computers at that time in my hometown. I have developed a good intuition about how computers work but I didn’t realize my passion on programming until my first internship as an assitant acturay in a life insurance company.
R is my favouite language but occationally I need C++ as the core calculating engine to boost the performance. Excel and VBA is also on my skill set because they’re quite handy and used widely in the office. I had some experience on VB.NET but no a big fan of it. I also know a little bit about shell, javascript, css, html, etc.
