Why Join TSM Silicon Valley?
What motivates you to join TSM?
Since I entered SMU, I had always wanted to see how technology is developed in other countries. While Singapore's technology is pretty developed, it would be nice to have a perspective from other countries.
Why pick Silicon Valley?
Silicon Valley is one of the most innovative places in the world
Ideal Role?
Would like to try out the role of a social media guy as I have not done anything like it before!
Starting a Business
What types of business interest you?
I want to start a business that definitely involves technology given that it is my major and that is actually the direction that businesses are moving towards these days. In addition, I would also want this business to make an impact and solve a problem for its users.
Past Experiences
Internship
I was working at a startup during my Summer Internship last year which was focused on developing a Software As A Service. I liked how dynamic the experience was as I got to do many different things such as developing a front-end, backend side of the application, documentation as well as learn more about how startups work. It was fast-paced and very fulfilling as what I was developing was used by actual users.
What keeps you ticking?
Developing: I am currently involved in 2 freelance side projects which are still in the works. It gives me insight into how projects work in the real world and provides me with developing experience.
Gaming: I like to game during my free-time which is pretty non-existent these days :/
