About

“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.” – Albert Einstein The urge of learning new things, gaining more knowledge, getting more achievements, and the joy of having new adventures with challenges have been my life passion and career compass. This motto has shown throughout my 18 years career with many different roles. It has also opened my mind to endless opportunities in this ever-changing world, especially in Information Technology transformation. Outside of work, I believe that we should always be responsible for and useful to our society and family. Being a patriotic citizen, a volunteer enthusiast, a hands-on father, and a helpful friend are few other roles that I am willing to put efforts on.
