My Introduction

Hi, I'm Liew Zhen Chuan.

I am a Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) student at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, focused on Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and full-stack software engineering. My work sits at the intersection of machine learning, financial technology, backtesting systems, and user-facing analytical interfaces.

My strongest current project is QuantForge Pro, an AI-assisted stock and cryptocurrency analytical platform designed to help retail users move from market observation to more disciplined strategy validation. I care about building systems that are not only visually polished, but also explainable, testable, and honest about execution assumptions.

As a graduate AI engineer candidate, I want to contribute to teams building practical AI products, data-driven decision systems, LLM-integrated workflows, and production-aware software platforms. I bring a mix of AI learning, hands-on project execution, enterprise IT exposure, and a strong habit of improving technical quality step by step.

Focus AreaApplied AI, ML systems, backtesting, data products, and technical dashboards.
Engineering StyleClean UI, modular architecture, auditability, readable evidence, and disciplined testing.
Career TargetGraduate AI Engineer, Data Scientist, or Software Engineer roles.
Portfolio AngleShow practical product-building ability, not only coursework or certificates.

02 / Professional Signal

Enterprise-ready mindset.

My background combines AI engineering coursework, final-year product architecture, enterprise IT support, retail customer engagement, and hands-on operations work. That mix matters: AI engineers need more than models. They need secure systems, reliable data paths, clear debugging habits, user empathy, and responsible deployment thinking.

03 / Featured Build

From trading idea to audited evidence.

QuantForge Pro is my strongest technical project because it forces software engineering, AI integration, financial data discipline, and product design to work together. The design goal is simple: help users avoid blind prediction and evaluate strategy quality through evidence.

Flagship Project

QuantForge Pro — AI-Assisted Stock & Cryptocurrency Backtesting Platform

A cross-platform analytical system for retail investors and beginner traders. It integrates historical market data retrieval, feature preparation, AI-assisted sentiment and contextual support, strategy configuration, sandbox backtesting, audit-aware verification, and research workflow persistence.

Data SyncHistorical candles, range coverage, caching, validation.
Feature EnginePrecomputed indicators and execution-ready slices.
AI ContextMarket sentiment and narrative support through AI APIs.
Execution KernelBar-by-bar signals, order simulation, fills, equity updates.
Audit LayerTrade ledger reconstruction, sanity checks, integrity checks.
Research UXMetrics, charts, run registry, comparison matrix.
Look-ahead Control Sharpe Ratio Maximum Drawdown Slippage / Fees Run Comparison
System Principle

Prediction is not enough.

The platform treats forecasting as one input inside a broader workflow of execution simulation, risk evaluation, verification, and result interpretation.

Execution Contract

Close-of-bar decision, next-bar-open execution.

Signals are generated using available bar information and executed later, reducing ambiguity and strengthening backtest validity.

Second Project

Employee Salary Prediction System

Built classification models using Random Forest and XGBoost with feature engineering and evaluation through F1 Score, Precision, and Recall.

04 / Demo Evidence
