About me
Hello, my name is Chun-Kan Gary Chow and I'm 24 years old.
I'm currently living in Düsseldorf, Germany and working as Management Consultant - Data Science at McKinsey & Company, Inc.. Previously, I was employed as a Financial Data Scientist at Invest Bot Limited.
I was born in Stadthagen and have been living in Lower Saxony, Germany for most of my life. I have always been passionate about technology and problem solving, and before coming to starting my professional career in Hong Kong, I did my bachelor's degree in Computational Engineering Science at RWTH Aachen University in Aachen, Germany.
In computer science, I'm mostly interested in the area of Data Science and its various applications.
In my free time, I love playing card games (especially Doppelkopf ), explore the natural landscapes, watch series (US, Taiwan, HK, Korean, China and Japan), spent time with family, girlfriend as well as with inspiring and passionate people and so much more. It's hard to name it all. Nevertheless, these are a few of my favourite things:
Computer Science
"Everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer... because it teaches you how to think"
I enjoy working on software projects, attending workshop about the latest technologies, selfstudying MOOCs and participating in hackathons.
Entrepreneurship
"Life is too short to be working for someone else's dream"
I'm passionate about founding my own software startup one day.
Social Impact
"The world is a fine place
and worth the fighting for."
I'm an irrepressible optimist and I know that we can leave this world better than we found it. I am a proud AIESEC'er , University buddy and mentor for socially deprived kids .
Travelling
"Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open."
Traveling is an eye opeining experience and I love everything that's related to it: couchsurfing, hitchhiking, people, culture, food...
