About

My Keiro(径路)

I am a technology enthusiast. I am always improving. I never settle. Since I entered university I have strived to fulfill my ideals of research, friendship and how I can be a valuable part of this world. This is why I never settle for what I have achieved, but always seek to improve myself and spread enthusiasm for technology wherever I go.
