Fun Fact

My favorite gaming genre is Real-time Strategy: Command & Conquer or StarCraft? (although I’m totally terrible at it) My current favorite programming language is Rust (which probably causes a lot of pain for our incoming students, but it’ll help you learn, I promise…)

Courses

I've always been passionate about computing and digital technology. I probably started way earlier than other people – wrote my first BASIC game in first grade; earned a computing proficiency certificate in fourth grade; built a math CAI lesson in sixth grade; enjoyed competitive programming (in Pascal) during my high school years & got to participate in IOI 3 times. All these eventually led me to Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science & College of Engineering. There I learned a lot more about computing, from how to design a microprocessor to managing distributed Cloud infrastructure or even making a neural network from scratch. A mix of cloud builder skills and AI magic that can automatically enhance cloud-native application performance got me a job at VMware in Palo Alto, where I worked with the team to support enterprise cloud workloads.I returned to KMITL School of Engineering in 2013 as I believe we got a shot at this coming wave of technology. We actively sought out opportunities to support our extremely talented students. With the vision of KMITL leadership, we eventually set out to establish CMKL University under collaboration with Carnegie Mellon in 2017. With extensive support from our government and industry partners, CMKL has grown from a few graduate students to the leading AI university in Thailand that we are today. We still focus on our mission to transform industries with technologies, enabling endless possibilities for our society built by our future generations.
