My Zigzag Path to Tech

Hey there! My journey to tech has been more like a game of Snakes & Ladders than a straight highway!

Growing up in Hong Kong juggling household chores while Mom worked taught me the art of multitasking early on. My career took some creative detours – from selling investments to a manufacturing adventure in Mexico.

When I finally realized spreadsheets weren't my forever home, I dove into tech with nothing but curiosity and a secondhand laptop. Night classes after hospital work days, then a surprise six-week hospital stay ... but I kept coding away. Turns out, the scenic route has its perks!

What defines me beyond technical skills are the qualities forged through this journey:

Perspective-taking

I naturally see problems from multiple angles, considering others' viewpoints before making decisions.

Resilience

Setbacks are temporary obstacles, not permanent roadblocks.

Genuine empathy

My diverse experiences help me connect authentically with colleagues and understand user needs deeply.

Creative problem-solving

My non-linear background gives me fresh approaches to technical challenges.

Continuous learning

I embrace new concepts with enthusiasm, knowing growth comes from stepping outside comfort zones.

Bridging worlds

I communicate effectively across technical and non-technical domains.
