Training
After being selected for the national team in September 2025, I trained with a dedicated Software Applications Development coaching team, competing along the way at WorldSkills Asia Taipei 2025, 2026 Taipei Capital Cup WorldSkills Competition and several mock competitions, while also gaining hands-on commercial experience. That year trained more than technique: time management, composure under pressure, and the habit of reading requirements from the business side.
