Why TSM South Korea?
What motivates you to join TSM?
I hope to take this chance to look and explore into Technopreneurship out of Singapore especially in the field of technology, engineering, security and information system. Exploring other countries ways of Technopreneurship practices will help me build a foundation. I hope that my future Technopreneurship will leave a impact to the people, society and the world. Also, a study mission will be able to teach me many lessons that will not be taught in class. This will help me enforce myself and the way I start a tech firm in future.
Why South Korea?
Korea is a technologically advanced nation. Korea's prides such Samusung, LG and so on, has made Korea an attractive country for TSM. These companies, R&D in the latest technological field sets the world into a new era of computing.
Starting a business
What types of businesses interest you?
- F&B
- Platform as a Service
What plans do you have in starting a business?
With new F&B delivery ventures gaining more popularity in Singapore, I feel there is a lot of room for growth. I hope that I will be able to create an develop an platform which allows F&B business to have an additional means of conducting their business online. I currently co-author a food blog (https://www.facebook.com/FourFarmers/) with my friends and we have been connecting with different F&B business to find out how they run their businesses, and brainstorming on how we can help them expand their businesses.
Past Experience
After going through and learning about SE in year 2, I helped my church develop a simple IT system which could collate information from different parties. I have also helped my father set up an E-commerce website via BigCommerce and Shopify over the last 3 years and have done several customisations and integrations to make the platform more suited for his business.
At the end of year 2, I did an internship with ReadySpace Singapore which offers web hosting services. During my time in ReadySpace, I developed an integration between their platform, Odin Automation, and a new server provisioning software, NOC-PS, which allows ReadySpace to automate the provisioning of bare metal servers.
What keeps you ticking?
Change is the only constant and I want to keep changing and improving to make myself a better person.
