Other than business, Khai is also a passionate programmer, joining coding competitions along the way. “Even though I am an engineering student, that does not stop me from learning programming and coding. I think it is very important for each of us to know and learn as the world is moving towards digitalization. I believe that in the future, engineering and programming will merge to develop an intelligent system that will be really impactful to the society.” says Khai. When asked about his favourite programming language, he smiled and said “Python is definitely my favourite programming language. It is so easy to learn, understand, and apply.
