LTS QA

Continuing with the interview, this time, I want to ask Xuan about her personal life because I believe a a busy leader like Xuan are very good at work-life balance.

Thank you for sharing about the work you’ve done. May I ask about your personal life? What is your childhood dream?

When I was a little girl, I wanted to become a painter because my father was a painter. And he made a lot of wonderful pictures. When it came to decide which university to apply for, my father asked if I wanted to become an artist or an engineer. I chose to become an engineer and I did not regret the decision. I love to create technology and want to work full time for it while painting can be my hobby, which means I can paint in my free time.

What do you think your characters are?

Ummmm…! What a hard question! I think I’m the kind of person who never gives up, very ambitious. People around me also say the same.

Who do you respect the most and why?

This is another hard question. I respect everyone because they are different from me and I can learn a lot from these differences. But the person I respect the most is my mother. My mother is the leading example of a person who “never gives up”. My mother brought me up in a challenging situation but she succeeded in raising a great family.

What do you do on weekends?

I do two types of activities. To relax, I go out with my friends for a coffee or spend time with my children, or read books, go shopping, so on! I do many things that would make me happy and gain more energy for the new week. Apart from entertainment, I also do some work-related stuff such as reviewing and making plan for the new week. 

What do you like about Japan?

I like everything about Japan. The people, the food and the surroundings. The first time I’ve been to Japan, I got lost and an old man took me from the airport to my dorm. It was a long distance but he still offered to help me. I felt very lucky at that time. Japanese foods are also very delicious, and the environment is also very clean and clear.

Thank you for sharing your thought. Last but not least, I would like to ask about your typical day. As the CEO of LQA, I think you have a very busy personal life, I am curious how you can manage.

It’s boooring (smiley face). 

4:30: I get up then quickly check my work such as email, schedule of the day.

5:30 – 6:30: Go to the gym or studying Japanese.

6:30 – 7:30: I make breakfast and enjoy it with my family.

7:30 – 8:00: I take my daughter to school and go to office. 

8:00 – 18:30: Work. 

18:30 – 21:30: I make dinner, play with my children if I don’t need to go out for dinner with clients.

21:30 – 23:00: I work a little bit if have a conference calls or reading book.

23:00: I do some personal stuffs then go to sleep.

You’re such an early bird. What a hectic life! That’s not boooring at all (smile). I really admire you. Thank you very much for finding time in your busy schedule to have a talk with me. I wish you best of luck.

“We enjoy working with LQA because of the high quality of their work and their flexibility in accommodating any new task. In the past year, we had a variety of different projects, from simple bounding box annotations to complex pixel-wise segmentation, and every time the team was able to perform the task according to the specification and within the agreed time frame. We are very impressed with the amount of effort the team put into understanding of precise requirements and making sure there are no grey areas in the task before starting the work. The work processes seem very smooth and well organised, making the interactions easy and predictable. So far LQA have been one of our best experiences when working with external annotation teams.” – Daedalean

“Daedalean (www.daedalean.ai) was founded in 2016 with an aim to specify, build, test and certify a fully autonomous sensor and autopilot system that can reliably and completely replace the human pilot. Currently the company is working with EASA on an Innovation Partnership Contract to develop concepts of design assurance for neural networks.”

(Hanoi) On July 13th this year FROM Okinawa Officials visited Lotus Quality Assurance’s office for preparation of LQA’s participation in a training program located in Okinawa.

Backed by Okinawa Prefecture, the training program was created by a nonprofit organization named “FROM Okinawa”, as an act to bolster development of IT in Okinawa and also to promote collaboration of Japanese IT companies with South East Asia. Thanks to the recommendation and guidance by a senior in the Japanese QA industry, Lotus QA was able to successfully go through the application process and was selected by the Okinawa board to join the program.

The official visiting Lotus QA this time were Mr. Itarashiki and Mr. Kadena who introduced the training program in detail in order for Lotus QA to be prepared in advance. Some of the information talked about was the visa application process and how Japanese typically work in the industry.

Joining this program the team expect to learn a “Made in Japan” quality mindset which has led to the success and fame of Japanese products all over the world. The team also will learn about Japanese culture and life in Okinawa. This is a very important program for Lotus QA as the company has decided to focus on excellence in communication which does not only involve language fluency but also a deep understanding of culture and business manners. This will lead to even more effective collaborations with Japanese clients in the near future.

Following the program with happens in October 2017 there will be a business trip to various Japanese companies in Okinawa by Lotus QA’s CEO, Mrs. Xuan Phung.
