data science (ai) & economics @ nyu

Currently a full-stack engineering intern at Terran Enterprise, where I'm a founding engineer on Terran Denizen, a career platform for MBA students at the M7 business schools. We built it from scratch: four Next.js apps and a Node API on one PostgreSQL backend, with an iOS app on the way.

In summer 2026 I was a technology risk intern in EY's Financial Audit IT practice in Ulaanbaatar. With the EY Hong Kong team, I assessed the security operations center of one of Mongolia's largest banks against the SOC-CMM framework, and tested IT general controls for a mining company's audit.

  • csi500 — stock-selection model for an ML course competition, +1.0% per 5-day window over the index in testing
  • solvesim — case-interview simulator, 250+ users (co-founder)

About

Zorigtbaatar (Zori) Khasbaatar is a Mongolian software engineer and student at New York University, where he studies Data Science (AI concentration) and Economics after two years at NYU Shanghai.

He is a full-stack engineering intern at Terran Enterprise, where he is a founding engineer on Terran Denizen, and a data analyst intern at Talentsnipe; he spent summer 2026 in technology risk at EY. Before that he co-founded SolveSim, a case-interview simulator with 250+ users, and HUR, Mongolia's first digital university-admissions platform.

On the side he writes open-source software: sandwich, an econometrics engine; unbundle, which uses it to separate a fund's alpha from its factor exposure; and tailor, a job-application copilot that only claims what the evidence supports. He is looking for software engineering and data internships in New York for summer 2027.
