I am a Computer Science student at the University of Otago, minoring in Japanese and Information Science, actively seeking backend development roles where I can apply my problem-solving skills and interest in clean, scalable systems. I enjoy dissecting complex problems and figuring out efficient and creative ways to solve them through code, motivated by challenges, team collaboration, and the satisfaction of building software that works. Alongside my technical skills, I am driven by self-learning and have a strong interest in game development using open-source tools like Godot and Blender. I recently completed an exchange program at the University of Tokyo which enriched my cross-cultural communication abilities and broadened my worldview through collaborative projects.
