I have always loved to make and create things with my hands, especially things that others can make use of. It is a dream of mine to start or make something that would be useful to a whole lot of people. I believe TSM can help me in shaping and creating that thing.
Of all the Koreas, South Korea is the BEST Korea. South Korea is living in the future -- with one of the highest levels of smartphone penetration and fastest broadband speeds in the world, a lot of new exciting technologies are coming out of Korea.
Banking and fintech related, social networking, improving productivity of businesses.
I believe there exists a huge gap in consumer expectations and what current financial services can provide. I am considering pursuing a fintech-related startup with a friend of mine and are between the two of us constantly learning about what it would take to build such a startup.
I was previously employed at Tinkerbox Studios, a web/mobile development studio aimed at helping startups build better products. During my employment there, I helped startups to refine their ideas and bring them to life.
I want to constantly improve myself and at no point do I want to stop.
