Why TSM Silicon Valley?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I'm a firm believer that the best form of learning takes place outside the classroom.
In my free time, I'm also learning Computer Science and Python by MITx on Edx.org. On the constant lookout for opportunities to facilitate and apply my learning at the same time.
- Why pick Silicon Valley?
It's a hotbed for innovation. Hope to get some inspiration from Silicon Valley.
- Ideal role in the trip:
1) Organising company visits
2) Sourcing for best travel insurance (was a Financial Consultant before, so might be able to get some lobang?)
3) First aid
4) Photography. Shooting on a Sony a6500
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Tech businesses which are easily scaleable and have impacts on our daily lives.
