Why TSM?
What motivates you to join TSM?
Today, we’ve noticed how tech has evolved to be at the forefront of many transformations – from the cloud empowering data analytics workloads and predicting cancer through machine learning, to using IoT to save building energy – there’s still so much potential that we can use technology to create value and new business models around.
In the world, many startups and its founders are crazy enough to believe that they can change the world – and they’re not wrong, because all of the big tech companies started from a small, but crazy idea. And it’s honestly exciting reading about the drama, the grit and the experiences two men put through to launch a computing revolution in our homes about forty years ago.
Where do you NOT want to travel for TSM?
Nowhere. I love anywhere new and unfamiliar 🙃
Starting a business
What types of business interest you?
Renewables/sustainable technology. I think this is the future we should push for, to reverse the negative side of globalisation through technology and change the way we do things.
What plan do you have in starting a business?
I’ve always wanted to start a business later on in life (or when the chance appears) after I’ve gained experiences in the corporate world. There’s a lot to learn from working for an organisation that allows for personal growth before I can start on my own – in my opinion.
But if I were to have the capabilities and capital to start one today, I’d probably start with sustainable technology.
Past Experiences (optional)
Siemens, GovTech
Developed this platform (ridey.co) right before COVID for a peer-to-peer car sharing platform, but never really took off unfortunately.
What keeps you ticking?
I love Indiana Jones, so naturally, adventures. I love to cook and had always thought of being a chef when I was younger. I love road-tripping – I’ve slept in a car for days with my childhood friend – driving across Australia like vagrants. Also, ethics is one of my strongest passions, and I love to see tech companies who actively try to make the world better through ethical considerations.
