Why Travel Bubble TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM? This is my 12th run.
- At the moment, we are considering travel bubble. Australia and Singapore are in discussion. However, this is more for student studying in Australia University instead of a study mission.
- If you have a city you do not want to travel, please indicate in this section.
"You must go on adventures to find out where you truly belong." - Sue Fitzmaurice
I would like to travel to any cities or countries because I love travelling and I always keep myself open-minded to learn and explore various knowledge and culture in different countries.
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Businesses which leverage on the power of technology to solve real-world problems, especially in the travel and hospitality sector and social service sector.
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
I would like to develop a technological platform which allows residents in rural areas to provide their homes as accommodations to travellers who are planning to visit the rural areas.
Past Experiences (optional)
I have worked as a back-end development intern in a start-up, which is known as Shopform, that focuses on providing a social commerce platform to facilitate the interaction between buyers and merchants in carrying out purchases and sales of fashionable clothes via social media. The responsibilities of my role as an intern include:
- Develop reusable application programming interfaces (APIs) for recommendation of products as well as filtering and sorting of list of products
- Create a function which allows the platform to interact with a third-party application to obtain an access token and store it in a database
- Write codes which validate user inputs
What keeps you ticking?
My goals and my objectives of having such goals. By reviewing and reminding myself about my goals and their objectives, I am able to keep myself motivated and build up my courage to pursue and achieve my goals in life.
