What Is Something Interesting About You?

When I was in high school, my friends used to hide their girlfriend's phone numbers because I can remember the number easily like a contact directory. I can easily spell out 80% of the contacts I have stored in my phone.

What are some things you are proud of but shouldn’t be?

When it comes to spicy food I can go above and beyond. The hotter, spicier or sour the better. As long as it's vegetarian.

What are some things you should be embarrassed about, but aren’t?

My brother lost his keys on the highway and we were almost out of gas. I was so naughty, that I joined the keys wire and for gas! I filled the gas in a bottle and connected it to the engine via an external gas pipeline. Then, I started the bike, but I fell in the middle of a sloppy road that I was climbing because of my height. It definitely would have embarrassed most people, but I just got up and walked along as if nothing happened.

What are you really good at?

I have a positive attitude. This helps me easily get people to latch on to my ideas! At the office or at home. I am a technically sound guy and I can easily grab technical skills too.

What are you trying to improve at?

Sometimes I struggle to speak up in meetings. I’m working on becoming more open about my ideas as I know the team really needs me to do this.
