As a structural engineer, finding solutions to complex problems has always interested me. What is most captivating to me about engineering is being able to understand the various mechanics and processes that form structures around us and utilizing the latest technology to discover efficient and innovative solutions for everyday tasks. Beyond my professional interests, I draw inspiration from the poise, resolve, and discipline of a Taekwondo practitioner and the intricate strategic details of a basketball play. One guiding principle that resonates deeply with me is “Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient,” a philosophy articulated in the book “12 Rules for Life” by Jordan B. Peterson.
Senior Engineer Residential Manager
I’m driven by a passion for problem-solving and a knack for unraveling the intricacies of building functionality. Opting for structural engineering was a natural choice for me, as it perfectly complements my innate curiosity about how things work. Recently, I’ve found myself captivated by automatic watches, gradually expanding my collection. Beyond that, I’m always excited to delve into the latest technological advancements. Treating others the way I want to be treated is the core value I live by, ensuring respect and empathy in all my interactions.
Accountant
My journey into accounting began with a realization of its pivotal role in guiding businesses towards sound financial decisions.
The analytical nature of the field, coupled with the opportunity to solve complex problems using numbers, instantly captivated me. I was intrigued by the prospect of providing invaluable insights through financial reporting and analysis. For me, accounting is more than just numbers; it’s about critical thinking, attention to detail, and making a positive impact on organizations. Outside of the office, you’ll often find me exploring the great outdoors through hiking, where I find solace in nature’s embrace and recharge amidst breathtaking scenery. I also enjoy meeting up with friends to discover the latest culinary delights and trendy shops, adding spice to life’s adventures. As I navigate through life’s chapters, I’m guided by the wisdom of catch and release, learning to discern what to hold onto and what to let go, embracing growth and new beginnings with open arms.
