I already dedicated 8 years of my life to studying, don’t necessarily think I’m better off for it, and yet I still felt the need to apply to a software engineering course. Here’s why.

I already dedicated 8 years of my life to studying, don’t necessarily think I’m better off for it, and yet I still felt the need to apply to a software engineering course. Here’s why.
School
I currently work for a start-up with 140 mostly American employees with an average employee age of around 25-30 and I’m starting to notice how different my background and experiences are from my colleagues.
Hey there,
I'm Fay.
Chinese by blood, Dutch by upbringing.
Third culture kid.
Global feminist.
Engineer by education but an aspiring entrepreneur at heart.
Passionate about sustainability, surfing and saving the world, i.e. humanity.
Only kind of joking there.
I really do want to make the world a better place. All I need to do is figure out how. While I'm at it, I thought I might as well share some stories along the way.
This blog is about my journey from growing up in Shanghai, to studying in the Netherlands, to interning in San Francisco, to starting a software engineering program in Lisbon and beyond.
