Simon Xiang

Welcome to my personal website! I graduated from UT Austin in Fall 2023 with a degree in pure mathematics. Formerly, I worked as a quant researcher at a small startup.

I’m interested in mathematics, machine learning, and software engineering, especially where theory meets practice.

Projects

• Kanji Lookup (Python, Gemini 2.0 Flash, HTML/CSS, JS): A quick kanji lookup tool for the Kodansha Kanji Learner’s Course (KKLC), featuring OCR-powered mnemonics and smart search.
• Dotfiles (Linux): Configuration files for my Arch Linux setup. Although I daily drive MacOS now, some dotfiles are still in usage.
• Math Notes (LaTeX): A collection of live-TeXed notes I took as an undergrad, spanning topics from algebraic topology to TQFTs.
