Why TSM South Korea?
- What motivates you to join TSM and why pick South Korea?
What better way to learn both Korea's country and startup culture together than TSM? I want to learn more about what it takes to create a startup in Korea.
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
- IoT
- Mobile Apps
- Electronics
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
I want to integrate a wearable gadget into a person's lifestyle, from managing your health, finding a restaurant to creating an outing with friends and family, all in one.
Past Experiences (optional)
- Describe your past experience
Even though I have not worked in a startup before, I am currently on an LoA internship in MSD, a pharmaceutical company based in the US. As an intern in the Project Management Office (PMO), I am very lucky to have been involved in the management of several Software Engineering projects. Working in such a large company with resource readily available is very different from a startup, which I am very interested in having a taste of the grass from the other side.
What keeps you ticking?
My pumping heart. And also food.
