Ethical tech advocate enhancing human capabilities through smart technologies.
ThailandWhat I'm looking for
I am an ethical tech advocate with extensive experience in both manufacturing and blockchain. My journey has been driven by a passion for leveraging blockchain technology to create secure and sustainable smart home and IoT solutions. At Shinka, I contribute to sustainable business ecosystems by mentoring startups and driving innovative, responsible product design.
My academic background includes an MBA and a bachelor's degree in finance, providing me with a solid understanding of business principles and financial analysis. However, my true passion lies in physics, astronomy and philosophy, where I hold a bachelor's degree in theoretical physics and actively pursue independent learning. This combination has equipped me with strong analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. I am eager to apply my knowledge and contribute to diverse AI training projects, particularly those involving complex data analysis or requiring a nuanced understanding of concepts.
In my spare time, I enjoy pursuing creative and physical activities, including acting (which I've been doing for 20 years), Ju-jitsu, and Yoga."
