Founder

Varanchai Yingkhamnueng

Founder of Boom Leverage — a bank risk quant (IC-licensed) who left to build institutional-grade research tooling for Thai equities full-time.

My name is Varanchai Yingkhamnueng— people call me “Boom”. I spent years in model risk and data science inside Thai banks. The job was to design, validate and own the models the institution actually used to make credit and risk decisions: the kind of work where a wrong number costs real people real money. I am now full-time as founder of Boom Leverage, building institutional-grade research tooling for Thai equities.

I did not start in finance. My master's is in physical chemistry (highest distinction, Mahidol, on a DPST scholarship) and I lectured at university for several years before crossing into data and quant work. Teaching and research left me with one habit I have never lost: if you genuinely understand something difficult, you can always explain it well enough for someone else to use it.

The turning point was putting AI agents like Claude Code onto real work, day after day — pulling data, reconciling it, producing reports that used to eat a whole morning. It did not just make things faster; it changed how much leverage one person has. So I collided the two things I had: the risk lens a bank actually runs on, and AI that can read an entire market's filings. What came out is Boom Leverage Terminal, and you can use it today.

Career

Boom Leverage

Present

Founder — Boom Leverage Terminal

Left banking to build institutional-grade research tooling for Thai equities full-time — whole-market semantic search over the One Report (Form 56-1 / MD&A), every result carrying the verbatim passage and a link to the filing, with the credit-risk lens a bank actually uses built into the tool.

Senior Data Scientist — Business Risk & Macro Research

Owned, ran and validated a production monthly ECL dashboard — the TFRS 9 ECL models the bank used to compute real credit losses — plus portfolio-level risk analysis that management made decisions on.

Kasikornbank (KBank)

Manager — Credit Risk Quantitative Analytics

Built the institution's first NLP early-warning system — deep learning over news and prose to catch credit-risk signals before they became non-performing loans.

Mudley Group — Survival Trading

Quant / proprietary trading (Chiang Mai)

Quantitative trading on the fund's own capital — the first step into finance after leaving teaching.

Chemistry and physics — teaching is where this site's way of explaining came from

What I write and teach here is method, and it is educational. I cite sources, always. And although I hold an investment consultant licence (IC Complex Type-1), nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy or sell a security — it is instruction in how to use the tools and the data, with you making the decision and checking every number yourself.
