Why Join TSM Silicon Valley?
What motivates you to join TSM?

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.

Why pick Silicon Valley?

Silicon Valley is like the Mecca of technology startups. I would like to gain a greater understanding of how startups are like in the valley, in order to gain experience either for my own startup or startups that I work for.

Ideal Role

1. Videography / 2. Social media manager

Starting a business
What type of business interest you?

Banking and fintech related, social networking, improving productivity of businesses and enabling people.

What plan do you have in starting a business?

I am currently working with a new startup working to enable people to become freelancers through a service marketplace.

Past Experience

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'm also the founder of Devera, a software development interest club that also encourages members to be entrepreneurial and create their own solutions.

What keeps you ticking?

Knowing that every experience will only help me to keep improving myself.
