Hello! I'm Wataru.

From early in my childhood, I always loved to envision, create, as well as fix and tinker with things. Solving problems, improving or making something better is something I always enjoy.

After getting my degree in Industrial Design (BID) in university with some professional work placements, I ventured out of my hometown of Ottawa, Canada and went to Japan and South East Asia for travel and a bit of soul searching. During that time I was involved with various projects and adapted my skills to become a web developer. Some projects I was involved with were:

• Design and coding of a desktop and responsive mobile websites.
• E-commerce sites, portal sites, reservation systems and APIs.
• Wordpress sites with custom designs and logic.
• Integrating various third-party APIs/Services.
• Code review and code optimization

I work remotely mainly because it fits my lifestyle, but it also allows me to get various experiences and challenges from various clients and projects around the world. I'm also constantly learning other software and programming languages to experiment and to further broaden my skills, as well as connecting with others to build a team and network of professionals to better serve your needs.

When I'm off work and studying I love spending time with my family, exploring (the world or the neighbourhood), taking photos or just chillin' in a café.
