校友故事｜来看编程如何助力金融行业！How learning to code transforms Boyue's career
数据科学训练营马上又要开学啦，这将是我们第三个全日制的数据科学训练营，为了更棒的学习体验，导师们已经开始准备新生们的预备周了。八月我们还会迎来首次的非全日制数据科学训练营。
Our third Data Science Bootcamp is approaching. To ensure our students making best of the courses, the instructors have already started the prep week. We will also have our first part-time Data Science Bootcamp in August.
在开学之前，回顾看一年前从第一个数据班的校友们的数据职业发展也逐渐崭露头角，今天我们有幸请到了 Boyue ，数据科学训练营毕业后，很快他就找到了金融科技公司产品经理的工作，最近他还从产品经理顺利晋升到机构销售。现在就让我们来听听 Boyue 是如何用在 Le Wagon沃耕学到的数据、编程技能在金融行业劈波斩浪的故事吧！
Before the program starts, we want to take a moment to look back at our first data science batch （batch 428）students graduated a year ago. Today we are delighted to interview Boyue, who right after graduating from the Data Science Bootcamp, landed a job as a product manager at a fintech company, and recently got an internal switch to the sales department. Let's hear Boyue's story of how he used the data and programming skills he learned at Le Wagon to benefit his work in the finance industry!
大家好，我是Boyue，在18年底英国投资学研究生毕业后我回国去了证券公司做财富管理的工作，我的工作内容是给高净值客户做资产配置让他们的资产保值增值以及针对量化投资客户给他们提供一些金融科技产品上的服务；在工作过程中我接触到了量化投资，量化投资就是让机器从海量的数据中发现一定的规律，通过多因子模型或神经网络模型来预测股票价格的涨跌。
My name is Boyue. After I graduated with a Master degree in Investment from the UK at the end of 2018, I went back to China to do asset management in a securities company. My work back then was to help High Net Worth Individuals to allocate and preserve the value of their assets, other than that, my team also provided clients who do quantitative investment with some financial technology products. During the period of working for this job, I had the opportunity to become familiar with quantitative investment, which is to allow machines to find certain patterns from a large amount of data and predict the rise and fall of stock prices through multi-factor models or neural network models.
我自身是一个充满好奇心，喜欢思考问题，喜欢去探究事物本质和最底层逻辑的人，在证券公司工作的经历让我当时很想去学习一下计算机数据科学，同时我在工作中也意识未来行业需要的是懂科技逻辑的业务人员，偶然机会我知道了Le Wagon编程训练营，它新颖的教学方式和好的口碑吸引了我 - 小班教学；学生与老师互动做项目；从解决问题出发引导学生学习，而不是纯粹的灌输式教学。
Being a curious person who likes to think and explore the essence of things and the underlying logic, I was motivated by my work experience in securities to learn more about coding and data science. And I also realized that technology will be applied in many more industries in the future. With that in mind, when I learned about Le Wagon by chance, I was instantly attracted by the courses. I was also fascinated by its small class size with personal attention; frequent interaction between instructors and students; problem-solving oriented class design; learning through problem-solving instead of memorizing.
上课开始发现课程进展还是挺快的，因为我之前没有多少编程基础，刚开始觉得有一些挑战，我迅速调整了自己，最后学习成果也达到了我的预期，让我对编程有了框架性的了解，也可以自己上手开始作项目了。
In the beginning, the fast-paced schedule was a bit unexpected. The course progressed very fast, which is a bit challengin for me who didn't have much of a programming background before. However, after I got used to it and quickly adjusted myself, the outcome exceeded my expectations. After the course, I acquired a framework understanding of programming and I could do some projects by myself.
除了深度学习外，另一个我特别感兴趣的就是极速交易系统。Le Wagon 沃耕训练营毕业之后我懂编程还有金融，所以很快就找到了几个金融产品经理的工作，最终决定去kingstar，一家fintech公司做产品经理，公司产品就是我一直感兴趣的FPGA极速交易系统和FPGA行情解析系统。在产品经理岗位半年多后，按照我的职业规划，最近刚开启机构交易销售的工作。
I quickly got a few offers for several product manager jobs from finance companies because after graduation from the bootcamp, I was able to upskill and apply my programming skills on top of my finance knowledge. Eventually I decided to join "kingstar", a fintech company, to work as a product manager. The product I was working on was the FPGA speed trading system and FPGA market analysis system which I had been interested in when I was at the security firm. After more than half a year in the Product Manager position, I just now get on a new journey in the sales department at the same company to provide services for trading institutions.
我认为数据分析在我做产品经理时最大的用处有两点，一个是我们行情系统每一秒会收到上千笔的数据，作为产品经理要对产品协助开发对这些数据进行一些量化分析和归纳，另外就是在和开发沟通的时候会更容易一些。在产品经理岗位半年多后，因为职业规划原因我转岗来做机构交易销售，现在我的客户很大一部分是做量化策略高频交易，学习过这些数据分析的框架理论可以让我更懂我的客户，更好服务我的客户。
What I have benefited from Le Wagon Data Science bootcamp is that I was able to apply data analysis at my work as a product manager. First of all, our quotation system will receive thousands of strokes of data every second. As a product manager, I assisted the developers team to do some quantitative analysis and data manipulation. Secondly, it becomes easier for me to communicate with the developers team when you speak their "language". Last but not least, when the majority of my clients right now at my current job are working with high-frequency trading, my data knowledge helps me understand those clients and their needs more.
在Le Wagon 沃耕学习编程我最大的收获就是那里优秀的同学，我可以在那不大的教室里看到整个世界，可以在与来自不同背景的人交流中思维碰撞出新的火花，这段经历让我意识到要永远保持一颗好奇心，持续认识这个改变中的世界。
What's more important is that I came to know so many talented and capable classmates and saw a bigger world through their perspectives. This experience has driven me to be curious about the world that is in constant change.
我相信大数据、人工智能、云计算、区块链这些技术可能会在未来根本性的改变整个金融行业的商业模式，创造出一些目前想象不到的机会。在“大力发展金融科技”的背景下，在金融行业内，已经没有“铁饭碗”这一说法了。能够在时代汹涌向前的潮流中幸存下来的，是那些主动拥抱时代的人。
I believe that big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and blockchain technologies may fundamentally change the business model of the entire financial industry in the future, creating opportunities that are currently unimaginable. In the context of "vigorous development of financial technology" in China, there are no traditional financial practitioners that can avoid learning new skills to keep thriving. Those who can survive from the ups and downs are those who take the initiative to embrace changes.
我在空闲时间会出去旅游，健身，也喜欢读一些历史，投资学经济学的书籍，最近的出行计划是去澳门蹦极，开始看苏世民的书 《我的经验与教训》。
I will travel and work out in my free time, and I also enjoy reading books on history, investment and economics. My latest travel plan is to go bungee jumping in Macau and read What It Takes: Lessons in the Pursuit written by Stephen A. Schwarzman.
