Who am I now
I am currently a software engineer working in Syndey Australia.
When to start coding
I stared programming when I was in high school. The first language I used is Pascal, the first compiler I used was Borland Pascal compiler. I also join some coding competition at that time.
My career
I was working in a big telco equipment manufacturer when I started my career.
I switched to a silicon company which provide chips and solutions for wireless/voice/IoT products. I am lucky to have different roles in this company, as a software team leader/manager, and then as a technical sales and account manager. The sales and AM roles were quite different from the pure technical roles. That needs me to have much more complicated human to human communications with a totally different set of skills, which I gained a lot during the work.
A few years ago I switched to the technical roles again. But I still enjoyed the work in roles which needs hybrid skill sets.
