alex chang

hi, my name is alex

I’m a software engineer with a background in finance, interested in building data-driven applications.


about me

I came to software engineering through investment banking, where I built financial models and worked with large datasets under pressure. That experience shaped how I think about systems and data — and pointed me toward engineering roles where analytical rigor actually matters.


I'm particularly drawn to software roles in sports, where the data is interesting, the decisions are high-stakes, and the domain genuinely matters to me.
