Summary
Currently working as a full-time hardware engineer, I have been proactively reflecting on my personal growth and career development. While I am accumulating a lot of knowledge and experience from my employment, I do not wish to simply pursue a stable life. Instead, I am very eager to maximize my potential in a passion-driven field. Such mentality has inspired me to apply to the architecture program.
