Soo Wei Xi

Bachelor of Software Engineering

I’ve got to give a huge shout-out to the Bachelor of Degree in Software Engineering (BDSE) programme at Wawasan Open University. It seriously paved the way for my gig at ViTrox. Dr. Andrew and our amazing lecturers, they were like my guiding lights. They didn’t just teach, they were mentors, offering top-notch education, advice, and support. Thanks to their know-how and the well-rounded BDSE program gave me the skills and smarts to kickstart my software engineering career. These educators went above and beyond, and I owe them big time for making my journey to ViTrox a reality.
