Why TSM South Korea?

  • Visiting South Korea before I enlisted for NS was the most memorable moments in my life. Me and my buddy was backpacking around South Korea and was amazed by the beautiful sights , food, and entertainment available in the country. The locals were friendly and helpful and I have been yearning to visit South Korea again. Apart from that, I feel that South Korea stands at the forefront of technology with new innovations coming from the tech giants such as Samsung rivalling the likes of Apple. I hope to keep abreast with the technologies and knowledge there especially those that pertain to mobile application development.

Internship Opportunities

Starting a business

  • I would like to start a mobile application development company that emphasizes on providing mobile application solutions such as invoicing/employee scheduling applications to small businesses to aid them in their business processes on the go.

Past Experience

  • My interest in programming mobile applications started when I participated in a competition during my final year in Nanyang Polytechnic . The development was on the Symbian OS using the QT IDE using C++ and my team got 2nd prize in the competition. I felt that the Symbian was unstable and phones that support the OS normally had low processing capabilities. It was until I bought my first Samsung phone: S3 Galaxy , that I continued to pick up from where I left off after graduation.From then on, I started to try out programming on the Android platform and was amazed at how easy it was to create mobile applications using Java for Android as compared to the Symbian . Although the processing power of my S3 is nothing compared to recent phones nowadays, I felt that the brand produced phones that are reliable and flexible as compared to Apple.

Apart from that ,I did an internship at OneEmpower , a web solutions company. I customized websites for my clients such as Epicure using KonaKart.
