Incident that spark your interest in programming/electronics:

I remember from 6 years old, that I was obsessed with traffic light. Everywhere I go I will watch the traffic light as they change the colour from green to yellow to red. It sparks me on how they do it. What’s controlled them? Since then I’m really interested in all things electronics including computers, communications and control systems. I got my first DIY kit and try to solder things when I’m at 8 years old. Now my hobby becomes my profession and I love every minute of it.
