Thank you!
 
Hi, everyone, my name is Shaoyi Guo. I have paid attention to this online course for a while, and I decided to take it seriously yesterday.
Objective: Prepare for MFE program, learn how to use C++ for data processing and modeling.
Programming Experience: a little experience in R language and Python. I learn these two languages when I do data cleaning work.
Current Work: Undergraduate student, Finance Major.
Intended Pace: Hopefully I can finish this course within 2 months.

Hey everyone!

Objective: Learn C++ to further my career and improve existing processes at work (slow R code I hope to speed up with C++). I'm thinking of applying to masters in CS programs, I might apply to a few MFE programs.

Programming experience: Python, R, SQL.

Current work: Data Scientist at the Fed in NY

Intended pace of program: I'd hope to complete in around 12-16 weeks. I'm also taking a graduate algorithms course at NYU, so hopefully it isn't too much to work and take two courses.
