Things I'd love to learn

How to swing a golf club. Anything Product related (digital to physical)

Golf give you many emotions and make you reflect on why you are a dumb dumb. Learning about new product and technology will provide more perspective and understand on why and how people use product. The knowledge will translate to more innovation and creativity in product design.

I really admire teammates who are…

Open to influence, like Boba, Foodie

It create a relax environment and culture that leads to open collaboration, innovation and creativities

My Achilles Heel is…

Boba, the cause of and solution of all of life problems

Buy more Boba

One thing that might surprise you about me…

I wing everything with a purpose.

Understand the end purpose/goal and derive an action plan and thought process around the problem. Must think through it at superspeed and debate yourself as you speak.

You will make my freakin day if you…

Teammates say Thai stands out…

Collaborates effectively with teammates3
Balances internal resources effectively2
Creates warm, caring relationships with teammates2
Intentional and strategic project planning2
Maintains effective work life balance2

Something that drives me crazy 😵‍💫 🤬

Someone who don't accept influence.

They don't need to agree but willing to listen and have an understanding of the other person perspective.

My favorite books 📚

Watership downThe making of a managerOne Piece MangaKingdom MangaFist Demon of Mount HuaLegend of Northern Blade

Watership Down is technically the only booked I read end to end. The Making of a Manager Audiobook was technically the first audiobook I listened to end to end. All the manga listed are my top current read because of the story line and main character development and personality.

Most fulfilling project I've worked on

Proud moment

Slowly building our team process and culture

Don't want our colleague to experience corporate life politics.

A fun fact about me is…

I'm a sprinter (100m only, beyond that, my heart explode)

Might be the reason why I want to do things fast when I can.

I worry that my teammates might perceive me as…

To relax to worry...

I prefer my teammates to provide constructive feedback so I can improve myself.

Best way to get me excited about something

Fluffy Pancakes, Avocado milk shake, Asian Cucumber, Steam Eggs, Dessert

Blacklist if it taste bad...

Am I lucky?

80% Luck, 20% Skill

This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill. Fifteen percent concentrated power of will. Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain. And a hundred percent reason to remember the name.
