About Me

Hi, I'm Haruka β€”
nice to meet you!
πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ from Japan

I'm a detail-oriented IT professional from Japan with a deep curiosity about people, systems, and the world beyond borders. My strength lies in seeing what others miss β€” whether that's a hidden bug in a complex system or an unmet need in a user's experience.

By nature, I'm introspective and analytical, but equally driven by creativity and a desire to connect with the world. I believe the most meaningful work lives at the intersection of precision and empathy β€” and that's exactly where I aim to be.

Now transitioning toward UX research and global work, I'm building a career that honours both my logical roots and my curiosity about human behaviour.
