About Me
I'm a software engineer with 4+ years of experience building web applications and testing tools. My journey started as a business student in Japan, where I won 1st place in a global marketing challenge, before I discovered programming.
I've worked on everything from automated testing frameworks using Playwright at a Japanese company to building AI applications at university. I also won 1st place globally in a machine learning competition on Kaggle for language translation.
Recently graduated with Master's in IT with focus on AI at UNSW Sydney. I speak English, Japanese, and Vietnamese, which helps me work with international teams.
