This page is about me.

I am originally from Fukuoka, Japan. I came to the United States in 1996 as an exchange student program in high school. I went to college called Miami University in Oxford Ohio majoring in B.S. Chemistry. I came to Los Angeles to attend Chemistry PhD program in UCLA. After soul searching, I changed my major to Material Science and Engineering and completed their Master's program. Upon graduation, I decide that I want to be a web designer started my own business yupio.com where I was involved in more than 80 projects. In 2006, I realized I want to take a break from runing my own business and started working as a developer at DocMagic, Inc. I am happy working there with people who are nice, fun and loves technology.
