Hello, world. I'm

Computer Science Student | Problem Solver

First-year CS student in Tokyo, learning by building real things.

Who I Am

I'm a first-year Computer Science student at Temple University Japan, based in Tokyo. I got into coding out of curiosity and found I genuinely love it — I'm currently working through Python, C, and web development as part of my degree. My biggest interests right now are cybersecurity and digital privacy, operating systems, and AI and machine learning.

I've already had the chance to build a real-world project and place first in a hackathon, and I'm eager to keep growing. I'm looking for opportunities to collaborate, contribute, and learn alongside people who care about what they make.
