Hello! I'm Shuya 👋

More About Me

• How I work with others

  With previous experience in an agile company and having led a team to work based on an Agile methodology, I am comfortable working in a high-paced environment and efficiently managing tasks. I am open to and also value the power of effective communication.

  I think that actively listening and understanding different perspectives play essential roles in teamwork. Tackling technology difficulties by myself is fun, but I also enjoy collaborating to find a better solution for the team.

  Overall, my approach is proactive and adaptable - always be ready to adjust to changes.

• How I build software

  The mindset of problem-solving is essential for programmers. My approach, whether it is a small bug-fix or a seemingly intimidating big project, is always to decompose it. Starting with small tasks makes me build the momentum to start, helps me avoid procrastination, and helps me understand the logic more clearly.

  Another important skill in debugging as a programmer is knowing how to read the error message. This also requires a tremendous amount of patience. I am confident to say that I am good at debugging, because I gained a lot of relevant experience from work, hands-on projects, the capstone projects, and even the coursework.

• About my past

  I originally trained in medical school, which instilled strong analytical thinking and attention to detail. Later, I became a web developer by self-teaching, then gained more professional study and work experience at Sheridan through the Software Development & Network Engineering program.

  I love everything about technology and programming, so even though this is a huge career transition, I enjoyed every moment of my journey. Eventually, at Sheridan, I developed a dedicated interest in back-end development.

  Coding is both a job and a hobby. I seek every opportunity to improve my coding skills and strive for excellence. With both passion and the required expertise in programming, I will go beyond in the years to come.

• Outside work

  Outside of engineering, I enjoy staying active through regular workouts and sports, and I'm a longtime baseball fan — I value consistency, teamwork, and steady improvement both in and out of software.
