I can provide you with new views. I'm currently working as an engineer at a leading manufacturing company in Japan, while also studying towards an MBA in the United States. My interest in business grew alongside my passion for technology, as I believe that combining technical expertise with a solid understanding of business can lead to meaningful innovation. Moreover, I'm learning python to develop something in the future, it will be done by the end of this year. And I'm learning Accounting, Finance, Marketing Data analysis and so on through the MBA course. Expanding my areas of expertise! I'm in the stage of gaining experiencie, so I'm working at a lower rate for now - but it won't stay that way for long ;)
