Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States
Hi, I'm Weikang Hu, a student at the University of Michigan, pursuing three degrees in Economics, Statistics, and Data Science. I have a strong interest in finance and innovation, and I aim to leverage my skills to create a meaningful impact around the globe. I have gained valuable experience in online business and FX trading, as well as entrepreneurial ventures. As an E-Commerce Sales Manager at Willing Supplies Inc., I built the company website, shifted the supply chain, and improved brand awareness, generating additional profit by $500,000. As a Macro Sales & Trading Intern at China CITIC Bank International, I researched and proposed trading strategies for institutional clients, and offered positioning advice on USDCNH fundamentals and technicals. As a Founder at HaZelnut, I developed a client address heatmap, received a rent discount and a sponsorship, and pitched my vision to a college application consulting firm. I'm proficient in SNS marketing, analytical skills, and FICC, and I'm always eager to learn new things and challenge myself. I'm also passionate about reading and soccer, which bring balance to my life outside of academics. I'm looking for opportunities to grow and thrive as a trader and an innovator in the dynamic and exciting world of finance.
