About Me
I'm 29 and a tech journalist, contributing Japanese articles to Forbes, Huffington Post, TechCrunch, Nikkei and etc. After working as a deputy chief editor of business magazine, I started my own business( real estate leasing and making websites) in 2013, but even now writing is my main passion. Most of pieces are in Japanese and a few of them are in English.
In 2015, focusing on European startups ecosystem, mainly Estonian entrepreneurs. Actually, I have been selected to participate the program, Study Visit of Young Journalists to Estonia “100 Friends”, by Estonian Foreign Ministry and the Government Office. In this program, I had many meetings with Estonian leaders including the Prime Minister and do multinational group work.
In 2013 and 2014, I specialized in hardware startups coverage of wearable device, drone, home automation and etc. If you are interested in Japanese market, I'm sure I could be of some assistance. As a matter of fact, my blog's article has once gotten more than 15,000 likes on the Facebook Page.
Before starting my own business, I've interviewed leading members in big companies like Google and Alibaba as a management magazine deputy editor until December 2012.
