Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I've always been passionate about learning, and I believe that you can create beautiful things regardless of the industry you're in. I want to join TSM to see the world, and discover new ways that I might be able to build cool products that can positively impact the lives of others. I want to gain new perspectives and be able to think heterogeneously.
- Where would you like to visit?
New York, Silicon Valley, Seattle, Shen Zhen, Beijing
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
The kinds where they can help a large audience and improve lives tremendously. One particular area which I'm interested in is wide-scale VR and AR tech because the possibilities are endless. With better development in VR and AR, there are numerous avenues that the world can improve on to become more efficient and enabling. We can help underprivileged families see the world through a new lens, while at the same time also bringing worker safety to a new level.
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
Learn everything I can, discover problems, fail, reshape the world into what I want it to be.
