About me
Greetings fellow web surfer, and welcome to my homepage. I'm Haru, a senior software developer, currently working at Tanda.
Although I work in tech, when I'm not at the office I usually spend my time on non-tech related projects. I don't feel crazy burning passion for programming itself - my true love is problem solving, which luckily, programming lets me do a lot of.
My Tech Experience
I specialise in:
- Ruby on Rails
- React & React Native
- Javascript in general
Japanese
I'm half Japanese. I never learned the language much growing up, though I was brought up on various aspects of Japanese culture. I decided to begin learning Japanese seriously in mid 2019, logging around 3 hours of study every day for the first year. I've gotten to the point where I would call myself reasonably fluent. My study of Japanese led me down the rabbit hole of linguistics, which you can read more about here. I now translate Japanese media as a hobby.
Other Passions
Besides Japanese and software, my other passions and hobbies include:
- Learning about semiotics.
- Art (I doodle and draw cartoons, digitally and with Posca markers)
- Dot journalling.
- Cooking (especially Japanese cooking). My specialties are fried rice and gyoza.
- Tabletop game design (I published a game!)
- Weaverdice (I am a worm nerd. Read worm!)
