I was born in Hong Kong, a sleepless city with tons of entertainment and interesting people.
Hong Kong is still one of my favorite travel
destinations besides Japan, Korea, and other big cities in China.
After 10 years of education in Hong Kong, I immigrated to Toronto, Canada.
I did my secondary school in Sir Alexander Mackenzie Public School in 1991 and high
school in Sir John A. Macdonald Collegiate in 1993. I was part of the school's Mathematics
League team from grade 10 to OAC.
After obtained my OSSD in high school, I entered University of Waterloo in 1997 and
pursued a Computer Engineering degree. In there, I had 5 wonderful years in both social
and academic life. Socially, I met a large group of friends. Academically, I had seven
wonderful work terms where I gained valuable experience. Some of the companies I worked for
are Midland Walwyn Capital Inc. (Merrill Lynch Canada Inc.), ATI Technologies Inc., Research in
Motion Inc., and Sirific Wireless Inc.
Although I was studying Computer Engineering in my Bachelor degree, I am more interested in
becoming an Electrical Engineer. I chose to go to University of Toronto for a Master degree i
n 2002. I have to thank my supervisor, Ali Shekiholeslami, for his guidance throughout my study.
I graduated in 2004 with an Electrical Engineering degree, specializing in high-speed I/O design.
My thesis topic is a 6.4Gbps Transmitter with ISI and Reflection Cancellation.
During my graduate study, I had an internship with Fujitsu Laboratories of America (FLA) in Sunnyvale,
California. The weather in the sunshine state is unbelievable. I was there for three months from
March to June 2004. Out of the 90 days I stayed there, it rained once. The temperature is never
lower than 20 degrees during the day. Aside from the beautiful weather, I have to thank Bill Walker
from FLA for his patience in helping graduate students like me. The experience and knowledge that I
gained from him has surpassed all of my previous work terms combined.
I am currently employed at Fresco Microchip Inc., a fabless semiconductor company focusing in the
development of silicon tuner and demodulator products for TV and consumer electronics applications.
I am the lead designer of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) block and the intermediate frequency
(IF) filter block.
Personally, I am highly addicted to the sport of golf. I like going to the driving range to practice
during the long and dreaded Canadian winter and I love playing with my friends on a golf course during
the short Canadian summer.
I am a big fan of Barcelona soccer team and I try to find and watch all the games that they played.
The reason why I like that particular team more than others is because of their playing style, attack
soccer. I feel sick and frustrated to watch a team sit back and defend after they got an early goal.
To make it worst, some teams even use time wasting tactic to play a game and this totally destroys the
game of soccer. My favorite international teams are Hong Kong and Brazil. I think Brazil has a great
chance of winning the World Cup in Germany this year.
I am also very interested in finance, especially the major stock markets in North America.
The most interesting aspect of the stock market is that it is changing continuously and we have no
way of predicting what is going to happen. My own little theory is that, if you want to earn money
in the stock market, you have to know more than the person who you win it from.
