After Graduation from my high school, I worked as an operation clerk in the export department of a logistics firm for quite sometimes. Mainly handling data and reports. before that I have been studying overseas for quite sometimes. During those time, I was lucky enough to be able to take part in sport teams and experienced a diverse range of cultures by meeting people from all over the world. Lastly, going back to studying after a few years of works grants me a great opportunity to further develop my personal skills and providing myself with a wider range of options for my future career.
Why ITB?
There are so many intriguing stuffs happening in the world of technology today, with the likes of VR, NLP, Neurallink...etc. As I was always intrigued by technology, most specifically computers since having got my hand on one at a very young age. I have always wondered about the processes behind this complicated machine. This course provides me the tools I need to develop a deeper understanding on technology and programming.

I am quite an active person that exercise regularly. And am very thankful to be able to have the opportunities to join the school's tennis team and football team during my high school years. Here are a few exercises that I enjoy doing:

How can I prepare myself to obtain the role above?
In order to get to the position I want in the near future, it's essential to further elaborate the material I learnt from lectures and put them into particular uses. As the IT industry are evolving rapidly, keeping myself up to date and catching up with the newest trend is vital. This could be done by reading articles and watching videos. As for practical uses, I have always try to spend a large chuck of times coding, though it was very daunting at first, I found out it becomes a lot smoother by time. Though I am still a long way ahead from the level where I am aiming to be, I still believe that keeping at it is the best way to improve. While aimlessly coding won't get me anywhere, so I decided to take suggestions from professional in Youtube and from lecture notes. Lastly, applying an internship at the IT area through the SCOPE job suggestion could let me get a taste of what the IT industry are like.
