Why TSM Silicon Valley?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I piloted a Social Enterprise that benefited graduates from ITE College to earn an extra monthly income through the business plans that I had proposed and guided them with. I'm learning the basics of coding on Code Academy (quite good for beginners I'd say). I do hope to meet the tech giants that have inspired me to learn the coding language (the second mother tongue haha). On a constant lookout of how tech can complement business plans.
