Jess Sze

Full stack developer, AXA

,,

I wake up looking forward to make things work and make the world a better place.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

I develop mobile applications and improve customer experience.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS FIELD?

I remember I enjoyed making flash games when I was in high school and got good grades in computing. I used to think I am not good at it because I am a girl and avoid pursuing software development as a career in the beginning. I tried other jobs but could not find anything I like. So I went back to software development. It used to be tough in the beginning because I am not confident. But as time went by, I solved more problems and learnt more. Now I am a lot more confident and ready for challenges.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT & THINK, "I WISH YOUNGER ME WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS POSSIBLE?"

I wish the younger me knew my potential is limitless and there are a lot of things I can do.

WHY DO YOU LOVE WORKING IN STEM?

I love solving problems, learning new things and the satisfaction they bring. I wake up looking forward to make things work and make the world a better place.

BEST ADVICE FOR NEXT GENERATION?

You can do it. I know you can.
