What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

I am a dedicated engineer with a strong background in iOS development and project management. My journey began with a Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace, where I graduated with First Class Honors. I have honed my skills through various roles, including my recent position as an Associate Project Manager at Rakuten, where I automated data processing tasks with Python, significantly improving efficiency.

In addition to my professional experience, I have developed personal projects such as Neura, an AI-powered offline assistant, and Halfway, a location-based app. These projects showcase my ability to integrate advanced technologies like SwiftUI and machine learning while maintaining a focus on user experience and privacy. I am passionate about leveraging my technical skills to create innovative solutions that enhance everyday life.
