Today’s session is with my team member, Daniel Tan. At VMware, we talk about remote working solutions and mobility all the time in these crazy times but for Daniel he lives it out everyday. Its akin to him eating his own dog food. We explore some of his interactions with his customers, day-to-day and what does he think the future is going to be like in the new norm.

I am an IT Practitioner (my day job) that have been across multiple roles ranging from end-user, post-sales, pre-sales, sales, and management.

I enjoy everything that is technology and a big advocate in embracing new tech. I love taking things apart and understanding how it works, in the process appreciating the engineering that goes into it.

Sometimes, I take my passion at work and apply it to my hobbies as well aka cycling.
