Hi there! I am Winnie Ip. Thanks for taking the time to learn more about me. I am trying to keep it short.
I was a nursing undergraduate eager to make the world a better place, yet I wanted my impact to be more “scalable.” That’s why I started studying technology.
Apart from technology, with the health decline of my close relatives, the second thing I learned in my undergrad was that financial well-being is part of our well-being.
What decision did I make to make me who I am now?
I tried to get myself “as technical as possible”, by joining various hackathon, bootcamps and I finally got a chance to work at a Blockchain solution firm.
I am so glad that my first full-time job is technical based which pave a strong foundation to move forward.
How do people describe me?
Here are some keywords: brave, leadership, team player, creative.
People love to communicate with me and I can always provide constructive advice from various perspectives.
What do I want to achieve in the recent years?
I would like to have the experience of getting things from 0 to 1, and to know more about how does a business works.
