Hi, I’m Hexu Jin.

I’m an Econometrics & Quantitative Economics student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I care about the space between rigorous analysis and real-world action.

My work has taken me from difference-in-differences and forecasting models to market research, operating-cost analysis, and building businesses from the ground up.
