Before joining the Berkeley MFE Program, Jinyu (Jimmy) Feng worked on M&A deals as an Investment Associate at Octopus Holdings where he spent time working with and experiencing the academic side of big data analytics.

Jimmy holds a Master’s degree in Management and a Bachelor’s degree in Computing from National University of Singapore and has an additional interest in entrepreneurship, having co-founded a crowd-funding platform for celebrities. He applied to the Berkeley MFE  to further his financial analytical skills and pursue a career in data science or quantitative trading. He will join Uber’s strategic finance team for a winter internship from October 17, 2016 to January 13, 2017.

Jimmy is currently working with a team of six students on an industry data research project for Citigroup. “The Berkeley MFE program provides a comprehensive quantitative training in finance, mathematics, econometrics and programming, which prepares students well for great roles in both financial and Fintech industries. The strong alumni network and career services provide an incredible source of opportunities for the students.” –Jimmy Feng, MFE class of 2017
