A self-taught web developer on a slow but steady journey. I may not be the fastest, but I’m stubbornly consistent. That’s my superpower.

While learning to build things on the web, I’m also learning to speak across cultures — through English, and through shared values.

This blog is a small corner of the internet where like-minded souls can gather — like a Sangha in Buddhism — to learn, share, and grow together. Not bound by the usual 9-to-5, but walking our own paths, with intention and curiosity.

If you’re someone who’s quietly persistent, a little rebellious, or simply trying to live on your own terms — you’re in the right place.

Let’s keep showing up.
Let’s keep building.
One slow, meaningful step at a time.

2020 – Passed Eiken Pre-1 and got a TOEIC score of 910.
2022 – Failed Eiken Grade 1.
2023 – Failed again.
2024 – Still no luck.
And then, in 2025 — I finally passed. 😭

These five years felt incredibly long. There were moments when I felt completely broken — like I would never make it.
But I kept going. Slowly, quietly, and sometimes desperately.

And at the end of that long, painful road, the word “Passed” finally appeared.
It still feels unreal.

If this story can gently encourage someone out there who’s on their own path, I’d be truly happy. From now on, I’ll start sharing how I got through it — the methods I used, the mindset I leaned on, and the many small steps that added up to one big win.

Offering Free Website Creation – For a Limited Time

I’m currently learning web development while building my own portfolio site.

As part of this journey, I’m offering free website creation for a limited time.
Please note that websites I create may be featured in my portfolio — I appreciate your understanding.

I mainly work with WordPress, and I’m comfortable using:
HTML / CSS / JavaScript / React / PHP / Python

I’m based in Okayama, Japan, so it’s easier for me to meet or work closely with those nearby — but I’m also happy to work with people anywhere online.

If you’re interested, feel free to get in touch through the [Contact Page].

Let’s build something great together.
