The following section introduces you to my industrial background. See also my yearly reviews and monthly reviews for more frequent and nuanced updates 🙂
Work
I’m starting my first full-time job in April, 2025. I’m thrilled! This section will be updated once I start.

Public Speaking
- Received the Presentation Award at IEEE GCCE for the presentation of my paper “Travelers’ Dissatisfaction in Tokyo’s Short–Term Rentals: Factors Influencing Location Reviews.”

- A department with a focus on Social Sciences, English language, and Data Science.
Volunteer

Community
- I’m an active participant of Waffle and Code for Japan. You may find me there!
