Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeixiang Zhong is an AI Quant based in Singapore with 10 years of experience building ML and LLM systems across finance and consumer tech. He holds a PhD in Generative AI and NLP from NTU and has led multimodal product understanding and recommendation teams at Lazada, driving double-digit engagement gains. At OKX he scaled AI-driven user growth features—chatbots, machine translation, paid ads, referrals and token recommendations—before moving into quantitative AI at Barclays Investment Bank. His research focus on humanizing chatbots (emotion, commonsense, persona, empathy) informs practical production systems spanning conversational AI, NLP and recommender pipelines. Comfortable bridging research and engineering, he repeatedly turns academic advances into customer-facing products in high-throughput environments. A not-obvious strength: he blends deep generative-NLP expertise with product-first metrics thinking to optimize real-world engagement and monetization.
