Episode Synopsis "04: HKU -> Fidelity Data Scientist -> CLP-> HKU Master of Statistics "
Jason Chan always understood the importance of education and how it can potentially transform his life. He witnessed first-hand how it changed his mother's. His mother grew up in a small town in Malaysia. Later on, she studied very hard to get her Master's degree while juggling work and raising him and his twin brother. Jason was inspired by his mother to do well academically, which led him to earn a scholarship to study Quantitative Finance at the University of Hong Kong. After graduating, some of his peers went to become quants. However, Jason decided to become a Data Scientist at one of the most prominent investment firms, Fidelity. After 2 years, Jason joined China Light Power (CLP), the electric company of Hong Kong, as a Data Scientist in their Big Data & AI team where he also competed in AI competition in Guangzhou. In this episode, he shares his love and interest in data with us that led him to build a UFC MMA predictor web app. He also shares with us how pursuing a degree above the undergraduate level will help him become one step closer to becoming a Chief Data Scientist one day. **Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Play.
