ALVIN LIM & ANGELA YU


A MEETING OF THE MINDS

Click for sound





4:00










When Udemy instructor Angela Yu travels to different cities, she has a habit of
scheduling meetups with local learners who’ve taken her courses. The polymath
and former surgeon has a restless need to inspire and connect. She’s also
accustomed to receiving links to apps her learners have made, along with
effusive praise. We can’t be sure just how many apps Angela’s courses have
begun, but it’s safe to say her courses — which are full of wit and personality
— have launched many beginner app developers down a course of discovery.


“Check out this app my student built!”

Last year Angela found herself in Toronto where she met with app developer Alvin
Lim, who took her iOS development bootcamp course and co-created Dimensional
(with his partner Saeid Fard). Dimensional is a mobile app designed to better
lives and relationships through personality science. Since its launch, it has
achieved top placement on Singapore’s Apple App Store. And Alvin now has a whole
team working on Dimensional.

Learning is not a one-way street. Instructors inspire learners, and learners
inspire instructors. The connections they make are nothing short of incredible.
In the case of Alvin and Angela, their particular connection may partly come
from the way both their lives changed course in similar ways. Angela left
surgery because she wasn’t spending enough time with patients. Alvin too had
started down the road of healthcare, initially pursuing a PhD in clinical health
psychology before he changed paths. Now both have found their ways in the world
of iOS development.

And they’re both helping people connect to new futures, themselves, and one
another.
