Hey, I’m Kiwi — an Industrial & Systems Engineering student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University with a deep curiosity for technology, philosophy, and creative work. I’m driven by the idea that engineering isn’t just about systems and processes — it’s about designing better ways to live and think.
When I’m not studying optimization models or tinkering with robots, you’ll find me hosting my Thai podcast Soundtaste, reading philosophy, editing videos, or photographing the streets of Hong Kong.
I’m looking to grow into a management role at a tech company where I can blend technical depth with strategic thinking.
