What is your current work?

Currently, as a project leader for the back-end development of a certain payment application, I am in charge of organising development work such as adding and modifying functions, and creating requirement definitions to systemise the requests received from the customer. In my fourth year of this work, I was initially assigned as a member of the development team, and while I still had a lot to learn and was not used to development until the first two years, I was able to learn new knowledge and the general flow of development in the course of my work at the site, and in my third year, I was entrusted with project leadership. In my third year, I was able to take on the role of project leader.
As part of my career path, I originally wanted to have my own small-scale development team within the company, and when I expressed this desire to the company and the site, I was able to work as a take-home development project within the company, so I am gradually being able to realise what I want to do.
Remembering what my seniors taught me when I joined the company with no experience, my challenge now is to teach my juniors not only technical matters but also to develop various skills in the course of their work, and to train them to follow me.

What makes my job fulfilling

When I am able to carry out a project, I think the moment when I can enjoy doing this job is when I can see what I have created working and when I can actually use it myself.
In the first project I was involved in from start to finish, from thinking about specifications and defining requirements to release, there were some difficult aspects, such as specification changes just before release, but now I am glad to be working on it as an important function of the application.
Now I am able to gradually introduce new functions and knowledge, and when I am able to feel my own growth, I think it is a job that I can feel rewarding.

What I want to be in the future？

As I work as a development leader, I would like to acquire more management and negotiation skills. In this job, there are people with high technical skills who are not good at verbalisation, and people who are good at making proposals and organising projects, even if they cannot do technically difficult things.
I want to be a bilingual bridge between these people.
I was not always a technically skilled person, but I would like to achieve this by learning a wide range of technical knowledge while developing my strengths in ‘communicating with people’ as I gain experience.
