Zi Wei regularly indulges in her love for physically demanding activities, and her passion for being in the thick of action spills over to her calling for writing software scripts and enhancing applications in healthcare.
Zi Wei’s favourite weekend activity is aerial yoga. Besides, enhancing flexibility and strengthening muscles, she feels it allows her to meditate and achieve better focus – qualities that she feels are important for her job.
After graduating from the Universiti Utara Malaysia with a degree in Decision Science, Zi Wei found her calling in IHiS as a Senior Systems Engineer in the Healthcare Cloud (H-Cloud) Automation Team. A job that she has enjoyed for the past two years as she is always involved in different aspects of national projects.
“I was fascinated with information technology and decided that would be my path in life when I was still an undergraduate,” said Zi Wei on her career choice. In particular, she is passionate about how technology can enhance the healthcare sector.
