Having the ability to turn your hobby and passion into a job is everyone’s dream. I have been fortunate enough to live that dream since 2006.

Starting out as a content creator reviewing computer hardware components, I ended up in Taiwan working in the computer hardware enthusiast industry. Over the past years I’ve had the fortune to set my own agenda, schedule and work pace while seizing opportunities to learn and experience different cultures and business practices around the world.

In 2014 I founded Han Wei Consulting (漢威榜顧問有限公司) operating from Taiwan and Hong Kong.
