Hi everyone! My name is Masato, and I’m from Japan. I’m excited to join Tenatch as an engineering intern! Let me briefly share my background. After completing my master’s degree in Environmental Engineering, I worked at a Japanese financial IT company for about six years. During that time, I primarily managed projects to expand our bank’s market trading system globally. It was an invaluable experience, where I learned a lot deal about team-based project management. However, I had a strong desire to become a developer and improve my English skills, so I made up my mind to leave the company and relocate to Vancouver, Canada. Up until last July, I studied programming and English at a college in Vancouver and connected with many ambitious classmates.

My goal is to become a full-stack developer and work remotely in an international environment. That’s why I chose to pursue this internship to enhance the skills needed for remote work and apply what I’ve learned in Canada to reach my full potential.
In my spare time, I enjoy studying English. As a side activity, I’m part of Toastmasters International, an organization focused on improving public speaking skills and building confidence in front of an audience. I’m not still satisfied with my English and know I have lots of room for improvement, but by participating in weekly online Toastmasters meetings, I’m striving to become a better communicator and contribute effectively to future engineering teams.

I’m currently living in Indonesia because my wife works here. One of the great things about being a developer is the flexibility to adapt my workplace to our situation. However, when I step outside, I often struggle with conversations due to my limited knowledge of the Indonesian language. At the same time, these experiences inspire me to learn more, and I’m eager to build relationships with Indonesians in their language during my stay.

I look forward to working with you all, and thank you so much for taking the time to get to know me!
