Hey there, everyone! I am excited to share my new blog with you. I built this website using Next.js and the Notion API to showcase my work, including my portfolios. But you know what? I have been wanting to start a blog for a while now, so I added a blog section to this website. I love using Notion to organize my thoughts and tasks, even when I am on the go. It is super user-friendly, and I plan to keep updating this website because it is still in the testing phase.
A Bit About Me
My journey began in 2018 when I started working as a product engineer at a chemical company. My background is in biotechnology, and that is how I landed the job. Initially, I thought managing chemical plants and creating materials was the right fit for me. However, I soon realized I wanted something more creative, where I could experiment and build things on my own.
My entry into programming happened thanks to a friend who was a software engineer. We had a blast playing with a drone he had programmed, and it was incredibly cool! Before that, I had this notion that programming was way too advanced and far from my knowledge. This experience marked a significant turning point in my life and led me to pursue a career as a developer. After that, I spent three years working as a full-stack developer in Japan. I designed and built RESTful APIs and web applications from scratch using technologies like Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, TypeScript, and React. I also explored other technologies like NodeJS and NextJS in my personal projects. I genuinely enjoy working on full-stack web apps, and I hope to continue doing so in my future endeavors.
Current Journey
In May 2023, I made a big decision. I left my job and moved to Vancouver. I will dive into more details about why I made that choice and what my future plans are in upcoming posts. Essentially, I wanted to advance my career and chase a dream I have had since my university days. Having visited over ten countries, I have always been fascinated by the idea of living and working abroad. While working as a software developer, I had many opportunities to use English resources, and that motivated me tremendously. Regardless of the years that have passed, I firmly believe it is never too late to pursue my dreams. Right now, I am working hard on improving my English skills and delving into data structures and algorithms to excel in my career. It is not always a walk in the park, but I am giving it my all.
Posting topic
My blog will mainly cover the following topics:
- Technology
- Recent updates
- Other fun experiences
As my English skills improve, I might write about even more topics. In any case, I will do my best to write in a way that is easy to understand. So, stay tuned for more updates!
That is about it. Happy coding!
