== Why Virtual TSM? ==
 
=== What motivates you to join TSM? ===
 
Having personally been part of multiple startups, my past experiences have highlighted a great need in my continual learning and evolution within the startup space. With COVID 19 as an even greater impetus in an already volatile scene, I am further driven to cease opportunity in a seemingly adverse environment and seek an avenue for learning within the current state of entrepreneurship.  In learning how other asian societies are evolving along with the COVID situation, I hope to similarly cultivate both creativity and perseverance. This TSM further aligns with my passion and motivation of assimilating with like-minded peers who are driven and excited at exploring ideas, dreaming up innovations and exchanging cultures.<br>
 
=== Where would you like to visit virtually? ===
 
The technology in China, or more specifically, Shen Zhen, has long been revered as most unique and advanced. With more striking examples like automated robot chefs and waiters, there is missed opportunity in their technology having been seen at the world stage only during later stages of development. As an avid lover of technology who also dreams of developing innovations rewarding for our society, I have great interests in visiting Shen Zhen virtually to understand the process behind their innovations and what keeps them at the top of the game, and further explore how such ideas can be integrated within our society.
 
 
== Starting a Business? ==
 
=== What types of business interest you? ===
 
Business ideas that directly involve and improve human lives (IoT or RPA Solutions). For example, recently I was working on a start-up that implements RPA solutions into the existing companies to improve their efficiency and to help them better withstand the digital challenges of the 21st century.
 
=== What plan do you have in starting a business? ===
 
After my ventures in the start-up space (Version22 and Munch Technologies), I understand the pains of starting a business. Hence, currently I do not have any plans to start a business in the near future. Instead, I am planning to either to join a start-up or a company that are working on solutions that deals with IoT or RPA solutions.
