We have some practical summer internship projects. These are great for students who want to learn and get hands-on experience, even if you don’t have prior professional work experience. Our internships focus on your learning and growth, and you’ll be fairly compensated. We also encourage you to use generative AI tools thoughtfully to help with your work and learning.
- Location: Central, Hong Kong (mostly remote/WFH).
- When: Summer 2025 (dates flexible).
- Pay: HKD 600 – HKD 1,200 per day (can adjust based on skills/hours).
Available Internship Projects:
1. Static Web Site Development (Python)
- Job Description: Help us build an ultra-simple, beautiful static blog. Current CMS (like WordPress) are often slow and too feature-heavy for our needs, as we only use a text editor for plain text and static image articles. Your main tasks are to design the site’s file structure and create a Python program to convert our text manuscripts into HTML/CSS. The goal is elegant simplicity and full content control.
- Skills & Requirements: You need basic HTML, CSS, and some Python skills. Be ready for tools like VSCode and Git. Please use your own laptop, as we don’t provide one. Feel free to use AI tools (like DeepSeek, Qwen, ChatGPT, Gemini) to help you. However, make sure you truly understand any AI output before using it—don’t just copy-paste without thinking.
2. China Stock Analysis (Excel)
- Job Description: Our founder personally invests in individual Chinese stocks, and we see good undervalued opportunities there. You’ll help us find and analyze promising large-cap Chinese companies. This means charting historical financial data (sales, profits, dividends, etc.), forecasting sales and profits, and calculating valuation multiples. The aim is to find undervalued Chinese companies with strong growth potential.
- Skills & Requirements: You need a basic understanding of stock investing and textbook-level corporate finance knowledge. Good Excel skills are important for data analysis and making charts. Fluency in Mandarin Chinese is a big plus. You’ll need your own laptop for this role, as a PC is not provided.
3. Portfolio Optimizer Development (Python)
- Job Description: Our founder’s long-term investment portfolio needs occasional rebalancing and strategic asset allocation. We’re building a simple, easy-to-use Python analysis tool for this. You will help develop and improve this tool. Key tasks include: preparing historical ETF price data (for diverse assets like global equities, bonds, gold, Bitcoin), calculating weekly/monthly returns and their correlations, and using models (e.g., Markowitz’s mean-variance) to help create asset allocation guidelines.
- Skills & Requirements: A good working knowledge of Python is needed for this role to develop the analysis tool. You also need a textbook-level understanding of Modern Portfolio Theory. Be ready for common development tools like VSCode and Git, and please use your own laptop as we don’t provide one. You’re welcome to use AI tools (like DeepSeek, Qwen, ChatGPT, Gemini) to assist with development. However, it’s vital you fully understand any AI output you use, not just copy-paste without comprehension.
Other Opportunities: Besides these main roles, we may have other flexible projects, such as macroeconomic data work or stock index option volatility analysis, depending on your skills.
