Hello there!

This is the homepage of Shawn Wang on the web!

🗺️ I'm from Singapore 🇸🇬 and live in NYC 🗽.
👨🏼‍🎓 Proud Fullstack, Wharton/Huntsman and UChicago alum, current GATech OMSCS student.
💰 I used to trade stocks, currency and derivatives at some of the largest banks and hedge funds in the world (with Haskell and Python).
⚛️ Most recently I worked on the Typescript/React design system at Two Sigma's insurance startup.
🎤 I also did a fair amount of Singing/Acapella back in the day. Now I listen to a ton of podcasts!
