Koh Zi Chun“I have been fastidiously trying to clock 10,000 hours of programming practice in front of the computer and have probably exceeded that number of hours. Admittedly, the invention of facebook and other attention-leeching web services have probably diluted quite a fair bit of those hours I have supposedly clocked. Half of the time is spent at solving algorithmic problems (Informatics Olympiad styled questions), which to the uninitiated will seem extremely boring and mundane (and extremely academic). The rest of the time is spent building softwares and websites for a company I incorporated with a friend 3 years back. The past two projects I have worked on were IT solutions for two SMEs. Currently, I’m working on a highly confidential B2C web service that I hope will be awesome and time-leeching for the target audience.” Faculty/ Department: School Of Computing Type of scholarship: Global Merit Scholarship High School: Hwa Chong Institution Interests: Programming and Algorithms, Design Thinking, Entrepreneurship Year scholarship was awarded: 2010 |
