I have always love to travel and learn about new and the best technologies work are done at Silicon Valley. It is like a dream place to explore the world of technology. I believe TSM can help me in learning and gaining more new experience in creating new things.
Silicon Valley is a hub filled with many young talents and technology startups. I would like to gain a greater experience and insights of how startups are like in the valley, and hence letting me apply to Singapore to creating my own startup or startups that I work for.

Banking and fintech related, social networking, improving productivity of businesses and enabling people.
I am currently working with a new startup working to enable people to become freelancers through a service marketplace.
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.
Knowing that every experience will only help me to keep improving myself.
