Why TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I would love to explore different ways to live life. Since location, culture and work work seems to play a large part in life and TSM involves all 3 aspects, I think it would broaden my perspectives greatly and help me learn more about the world and about myself.
- Where would you like to visit?
Silicon Valley, Shenzhen
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you? Technology based that will change the way we do things
There are 2 main ones - Artificial Intelligence and User Experiences!
I am passionate about how Artificial Intelligence can free up much of the existing work that needs to be done by us, and allow us to find new kinds of meaningful work to do which we would otherwise have not been able to explore.
I am also fascinated by how our experiences with digital technology would change as we rely more on it. Would it be like Meta's Metaverse? What are other possible futures? How can we design a healthy, balanced, and more intuitive user experience for people?
- What plan do you have in starting a business? (list existing business)
I am open to starting a business, and am first working my way to become a more independent software developer. I do not have a concrete business plan yet, and am happy to explore opportunities!
What keeps you ticking?
- Being alive! It is an opportunity to explore life before we die. I enjoy the never-ending process of discovery, imagination and learning in life.
