About

Perhaps it was my passion for games that pushed me into pursuing a degree in Computer Science, and hopefully a career in game development in the future. I have developed a deep passion that constantly motivates me to study and create my own games and software applications. I am always on the look for opportunities to further upgrade my skills and learn new things, especially when it comes to game development and content related to Japan! I was inspired to begin my Japanese studies journey by studying the language as a fan of Japanese anime and manga back when I was 16, and now, I am inspired further to pursue a second major in Japanese studies. My dream and goal is to further my studies and live in Japan!
