Janny Leung

I am pivoting from auditing to quantitative and AI development, a shift that grew naturally from my auditing work, where excel-driven analysis sparked my curiosity about more systematic and scalable ways to analyse data. While prioritising caregiving for a family member with a terminal illness, I strategically began formal training in AI and machine learning through an AWS scholarship. I am now further expanding my technical foundation in financial engineering and quantitative analysis using R.

Along this journey, I learned that whether working with people or a line of code, progress comes from patience, thoughtful listening, open collaboration, and trust in the capacity to grow. This perspective, combined with my analytical background, enables me to contribute constructively and responsibly within team-based environments.
