フィリピン出身。フィリピンで過ごしていた幼少時代からずっと、コンピュータやゲーム、ガジェットが好きです。好きこそものの上手なれの言葉のように、勉強しているというよりは好きなことをやっているという感覚でエンジニアとしての知識を学んできました。 日本で働いていた父の影響で日本がもともと好きで、そしてこれまた日本にいた兄のつながりで日本でエンジニアとしての仕事が決まり、それから早7年以上、日本でiOSアプリを開発しています。 エンジニアとしての仕事をしていく上で、難しいことや悩むことも多いですが、一緒にフィリピンから日本に来てくれた家族の存在が心の支えです。 また、自分が作ったものを実際に利用してくれている人を見ることがとても嬉しくて、これがエンジニアという職の魅力だと感じてます。 日本のラーメン文化は本当に素晴らしくて、美味しいお店を調べて食べに行くのが大好き！ですが、現在ダイエット中のため、控え気味です。 I came from the Philippines. I have been interested in computers, video games and electronic gadgets since childhood. I am the type that likes doing more than studying. So working by example is how I grew as an engineer. I still put value in properly studying though. Since my father has been working overseas, particularly in Japan for the longest time, I’ve been interested in Japan ever since, consuming Japanese cultural products (ramen, anime, J-Pop, JRPGs, etc.) in the process. When my brothers came to Japan, my oldest brother applied for a job in Japan, and by fate attached me in the process. To make a long story short, I’ve been working in Japan for 7 years now, primarily as an iOS developer. There are quite a lot of challenges in this field of work, and I'm lost a lot of times due to many factors, but I have my family and my wife as my moral pillar, and I’m working hard for the sake of my own family in the future. Also, it fills me with great joy when I see the fruits of our labor being happily utilized by users. I feel that this is the best thing about being a developer. As for other interests, another great aspect of living in Japan for me is the current ramen culture. It’s so great! There are a lot of shops and a lot of varieties currently sprouting, and the quality is just getting higher and higher. One of my hobbies is to search for a great shop, eat, and write about it. But I am currently on a diet so I’m trying to turn it down a notch.
