Career Specialization
The biggest question I have faced during my early 20s has been which area to start specializing in for my career path. I’ve always wanted a skill set that is flexible and could adapt to unexpected changes in the 21st century.
I feel very blessed to have landed an opportunity to intern at an automation engineering company next summer. In short, they are an advanced mechatronics provider where I will gain industry experience with computer vision, data engineering, components manufacturing, and more!
My ultimate goal is to move to the US and pursue opportunities at deep/hard tech companies. Here are a few exciting companies of the 100s that are popping up nowadays.
Various Updates
Twitch
Recently I’ve been playing some video games again so I started streaming on Twitch. When I was 14-15 years old I used to play this game called Counter Strike: Global Offensive (king of competitive shooters) competitively at a high level; enough to go out to local tournaments and compete for small prizes. I guess I had some nostalgia and wanted to go back. My page is linked in the photo below, so feel free to come check me out! I don’t have a schedule at the moment, but I will be posting one eventually.
ADAPTLAB
I will soon be posting a lot of AI art for my apparel brand. I intend on digitally/physically prototyping my first drop this coming fall with help from a very experienced business partner. Click the photo below for link!
