Background

About Henry Kwan

Henry has always had curiosities in technology and how things work. From taking apart transistor radios in his early teen, writing his first BASIC program in high school and later building his first PC, eventually leading to obtaining his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (minor in computer science); technology has always been part of him. His passion in technology led him to join a major Canadian telecommunication technology company. Henry demonstrated his character of perseverance and leadership by proposing a major shift in production test process through multiple management changes, resulting in savings of over $1M in the first year of deployment alone. His proven leadership, technology acuteness, problem solving skills, and sense of humour afforded him to successfully manage a team of a dozen software engineers in product development. Henry derives great pleasure in helping others - from troubleshooting everyday computer problems for friends, to designing/implementing a network of data and voice systems (VOIP) for a friend’s business. He frequently monitors advances in the technology sector by visiting a collection of technology websites. His interests are not limited to technology. As a first time backyard “mechanic”, his proudest achievements were replacing all four struts and the timing belt of his vehicle.
