About
From the client's side of the table to building AI
I'm Matthew Yeung, Head of Data at a Hong Kong fintech. I work where finance, ESG and AI meet — and write about it here.

My story
I started my career in wealth management, helping individual and corporate clients plan their money. I enjoyed the analysis more than anything else — so I earned my FRM, and on the side co-founded a small education centre teaching students science and maths.
Then I left finance to study artificial intelligence in London, graduating with Distinction in 2020. That switch is the thread through everything I do now: I understand what the business needs before I think about what the model does.
Since 2022 I've worked in data at a Hong Kong fintech, from analyst to Lead Data Scientist to Head of Data. My work covers AI products and agentic applications, ESG data and methodology, and data strategy.
Outside work, you'll usually find me travelling, on a badminton court, or out with a camera.
What I work on
AI products & agentic applications
LLM applications, agentic workflows and fast proof-of-concepts that test whether an AI idea is worth building.
ESG data & methodology
Scoring frameworks and data-quality controls that make sustainability data consistent and explainable.
Data strategy for finance
Building data and AI with the client, the risk and the regulator in mind.
Experience
Education & credentials
Let's work on something together.
Speaking, AI ideas, writing or a career question — I'd like to hear from you.
