Heyy there, my name is

Jefferson Ding

I build things. I break things. I (try to) fix things. Then Repeat.

Currently:

  • Computer Engineering @ University of Pennsylvania SEAS
  • Finance and Entrepreneurship @ Wharton

More about me

I'm currently a sophomore student at the University of Pennsylvania's M&T program, studying CMPE and Finance. I'm particularly interested in spaces like fintech, cybersecurity, AI, and web3. You can see some of the projects I've worked on and companies I've built in those spaces in a bit.
I enjoy working with tech and computers, on the market side as well.
