About me
I’m a software engineer currently based in Osaka.
I grew up in the Kansai region of Japan. After graduating from university, I had a strong desire to work abroad. I left my first job in less than a year, took a leap, and headed to Bangkok, Thailand. After a few twists and turns, I started my career as a software engineer and began to build my experience.
After staying in Thailand, Japan, and Canada, I returned to Japan in 2023. I’ve been living in Osaka ever since. My desire to live abroad has finally settled down, and I’m truly appreciating how comfortable and pleasant it is to live in Japan.
It has now been more than ten years since I started working as a software engineer. My current company is headquartered in the U.S. with employees distributed all over the world. I work remotely from my home in Osaka, developing one of our company’s products.
My immediate team is also spread across the globe, with members in Canada, Australia, India, Switzerland, and Italy. Because of the significant time zone differences, not just on my team but across the entire company, working asynchronously is key. Being fully remote and navigating these time zones makes it quite different from a typical company, which is something I find fascinating.
I probably won’t update it very often, but I hope to write freely and at my own pace.
