Min H.

!! Stop wasting money on average freelancers !! I’m Min. I hold a triple major in Pure Mathematics, Physics, and English. I graduated in three years with a 3.9 GPA from a top liberal arts college, Phi Beta Kappa, and magna cum laude honors. I am also an incoming M.A. student in Mathematics, specializing in Mathematics of Finance, at Columbia University. My background is unusual. I work across quantitative research, mathematical modeling, SAT tutoring, academic writing, chess, and curriculum design. Quantitative Research, Trading, and Data Projects I ranked 163rd globally out of 22,000+ teams and 2nd in Korea in IMC Prosperity 4, an algorithmic trading competition. Through that competition, I worked on trading logic, backtesting, signal design, market-making intuition, and post-round strategy analysis. I have also built quantitative projects outside trading, including: * Markov Decision Process model for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu strategy, using empirical transition matrices, value iteration, and Monte Carlo simulation. * League of Legends champion recommender using robust z-scores, weighted similarity metrics, archetype guardrails, and mastery-adjusted scoring. * Sports prediction and analytics projects. * Trading backtester and strategy writeups for algorithmic trading competitions. Math, Physics, and STEM Tutoring I tutor mathematics and physics from high-school level to advanced undergraduate topics. Mathematics: algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, calculus, multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, abstract algebra, number theory, probability/statistics, regression modeling, real analysis I & II, topology, stochastic processes, and PDEs. Physics: classical mechanics, thermodynamics, waves and optics, electricity and magnetism, special relativity, quantum mechanics, electromagnetic theory, and advanced quantitative problem solving. SAT, ACT, and Test Prep I scored 1590 on the SAT, with 800 Math and 790 Reading/Writing. I have worked professionally as an SAT content developer, course writer, question writer, and question vetter for Jack Westin and Vibrant Publishers. I have written 200+ SAT Reading/Writing questions aligned with real test patterns and psychometric expectations. I also founded Surmount.one, a 1,400+ member SAT prep community, where I have helped students prepare through live sessions, structured materials, and strategy-based tutoring. My SAT textbook was also ranked as best-sellers on Amazon in the test prep category. Writing, Editing, and Curriculum Design I am also a writer and editor. I won international writing competitions and worked as a Writing Center Consultant and Teaching Assistant for first-year writing. Chess I am an International Master-level chess player and was previously ranked #18 globally out of over 150 million users and #1 nationally on chess com. I have written a chess book on the Grünfeld Defense and created analytical chess content with 350k+ views.
