About Me
Hello there! You can call me Long for short. I’m a currently a master student in Perth, Australia, focused in financial engineering and data science, with the 3-year working experience as a data engineer in Shopee Singapore.
Beside the current interests, having built a game available on Google Play, this website, and an IEEE journal inspired from my bachelor thesis, I can say I’m an explorer.
At the moment I’m most in touch with Python and Apache Spark.
However, the aspect that’s I’m most proud of is my resourcefulness and adaptability.

https://longnshort.atlassian.netA bridge that connects a software engineer and a traditional trader in taming the market ... or getting horribly bullied by it.
My soul personal project of 2022. So far I have built an automated technical trading system; and an options trade semi-bot to follow with trade signal on Github. To request for a demo of my issue ticket & confluence, please contact me.
I could always see a rift when it comes to high frequency trading for most ordinary people:
- A software engineer often face problems with understanding financial terms.
- A traditional retail trader finds building a high quality trading system a formidable task.
LongNShort aim to eliminate the obstacle: A quality customizable automated trading system with the folling targets in consideration:
- Well-documented market archive knowledge for an engineer
- Easy-to-use for a trader, as much as using a script copied from a Youtube channel.
Made possible with:
- Tech Stack and Framework: Python, InteractiveBroker TWS API and Backtrader
- Development tracking and knowledge archive: Atlassian JIRA and Confluence

A Little More About Me
- Normally I’m very lazy (Well, on the positive side they say lazy people often find easy way to solve stuff)
- For instance, most of the job / experience description above I probably just copy pasted from my documents (You can ask me for official document that I have copied for validation). I don’t want to edit it since I blame it for potential Git merge conflict. (Sorry for that NTU section, by the way ^^)
- I also “borrowed” this website template from a guy called Brett Harris
- Nonetheless, I can be bribed with fruit juice and food. I believe my productivity is highest when I’m near a pantry.
Some of my other interests and hobbies are:
- Video Game (Welp, certainly not about creating game, one of my nightmare is designing game assets)
- Manga (I’m NOT an Otaku)
- I also “borrowed” a OCR translator (Japanese -> English) for reading raw manga in Japanese from leminhyen: https://github.com/vuduclong0309/Sugoi-Japanese-Translator
- Ping Pong (I’m not Chinese btw, I’m Vietnamese)
