Why TSM New York City?
  • What motivates you to join TSM? Being exposed to technology at a young age, it has led to me to explore different sectors within the technology space. Game development, E commerce and web development are some technological examples that I have dabbled in. On top of my technological interests, I have a great passion in making physical products with materials such as leather and wood. With these interest, I wish to combine my ideas and hopefully bring a new and original idea to the world. TSM gives me the opportunity learn from the other start ups and I hope to be able to generate more ideas by experiencing how others work overseas.
  • Why pick New York City? New York’s tech sector stands out as a top global innovation hub. With it's record job and investment growth, without a doubt it has become a hub where talents gather and I believe there is much more to for me to learn by experiencing it myself.
