Hi, I am “Pump Muscle” in charge of the redaction of this employee Presentation. This time, I would like to talk about why I joined the company and my impressions after joining it.
First of all, I would like to explain why I joined Dandelions. When I started job hunting, my first choice was to be an English conversation instructor. This is because it is the mainstream job in Japan for foreigners whose first language is English. In fact, many of my foreign acquaintances also work in English-related fields. The reason I did not apply for an English conversation teacher position but for an IT job was a casual remark from a girlfriend. “Since you are good at computers and interested in IT, why don’t you apply for an IT job?” When I heard this, I thought, “I want to continue working and living in Japan and there is a shortage of IT personnel. If I can get a job in the IT field now, there will be many more possibilities for me in the future. I want to acquire more skills and experience and become a person in demand.” From there, I applied to several IT-related companies. As I was interviewing for Dandelions, I felt the warm atmosphere of the company and decided that it would be great to work with them. It has now been 4 years since I joined dandelions.
I would like now to talk about my impressions after joining the company. Dandelions has a warm and fun atmosphere, and I feel like all the employees and their superiors get along pretty well. Moreover, there are regular drinking parties and company trips, which allow all employees to deepen their relationships.
I am currently in my 4th year at dandelions, and I still have a lot to learn, and I often stumble, but we have created a positive environment and deep relationships. Therefore, it is easy for employees to talk to each other, and when I need help, I am always supported by my reliable boss and colleagues. I hope to continue to create a better working environment with everyone I work with.
Hi! I am “Michi” and I will introduce myself in this post! My last post (here) was in October 2020, so it has been about 3 years since I last posted. Time passes quickly.
Current work
I have been working with my current client since June 2020. I was mainly responsible for system maintenance, but now I am participating in development projects.
My daily schedule looks like this:
09:00: I start working 09:15: Meeting within your company 09:30: Meeting for the entire customer team 12:00: Lunch break 13:00: I restart working 13:05: Development PJMT (onsite) 14:00: Development PJMT (offshore) 18:00: End of my day
Currently, I work from home 4 days a week and go to work once a week. Recently, development has reached a climax, and we have many meetings. In between meetings, I receive deliverables from offshore and test them, and develop on-site batch functions. When I want to exercise, I go to the gym during my lunch break.
I moved
I moved in July of this year. There are various points to consider when choosing a place, such as rent, area, conditions of the building itself, etc. What do you guys prioritize? Apart from the points mentioned above, my deciding factor was that there was a supermarket nearby. If I were in the past, I do not think I would have paid much attention to this point. I am sure this is due to the fact that I had more opportunities to cook at home due to the coronavirus. The neighborhood seems to be a quiet residential area, but there is a school nearby. When I hear the lively shouts of students as they work in club activities or physical education classes, I feel a warm feeling of youth.
I went to Ise
I went to visit Ise-Jingu for the first time in a while. I was blessed with good weather, and visiting the temple felt very refreshing. I always forget the etiquette of washing my hands and visiting the shrine, so I imitated what other worshipers were doing. I bought an amulet to ward off evil spirits at the Kagura Hall in the Naiku. (Next year is supposed to be a “harbinger of a great disaster” for me, according to the mae-yaku belief in Japan). Afterwards, I went to Okage Yokocho to eat while walking and had a great time.
Please look forward to the next employee introduction!
Every year in November, each unit from DandelionS holds a report meeting on the annual activities. We set evaluation items for each unit, and each unit member and representative scores the results. The goals for each unit are as follows:
0th Unit
・Web trends investigation ・Corporate site, recruitment site operation ・About internally developed apps (jointly with the 3rd unit)
1st Unit
・Luckybox Blog ・Hello World Web version ・Sweets authentication app ・Attendance input API (jointly with 2nd unit)
2nd Unit
・Building an internal attendance management system using OutSystems ・Building a simple attendance registration function using a smartphone app
3rd Unit
・Internal server construction ・Security support
This is a great opportunity to showcase this year’s activities to all members. Please make sure to prepare well your presentation within each unit! The details of the report will be provided later.
For this engineer’s blog, I would like to introduce the learning content that I am working on on a daily basis. I am from the first unit working with themes such as AI and big data. This time, I will introduce a simple model for classifying images using TensorFlow.
TensorFlow is an open-source machine learning library widely used for machine learning and deep learning. It can be used for various tasks such as image classification.
To classify images with TensorFlow using the Python language, follow these steps:
1. Install TensorFlow
2. Load the dataset
This example uses the MNIST dataset. The MNIST dataset contains 60,000 training images and 10,000 test images of handwritten digits.
To load the MNIST dataset, use the following code:
This code reads the MNIST dataset and splits it into training and test images.
3. Preprocess the data
MNIST images are grayscale images and are all 28×28 pixels in size. Before training the model, we need to normalize the images.
To normalize the image, use the following code:
This code normalizes the value of each pixel in the image to a range of 0 to 1.
4. Define the model
This example uses a simple model. The model has two layers: a convolutional layer and a fully connected layer.
The convolutional layer extracts features from images. The fully connected layer classifies the image based on the features extracted by the convolutional layer.
Use the following code to define the model:
This code defines a model with four layers:
The first layer is a convolutional layer. This layer extracts a 28x28x32 feature map from the image.
The second layer is the max pooling layer. This layer reduces the size of the feature map by half.
The third layer is a planarization layer. This layer converts the feature map into a one-dimensional vector.
The fourth layer is a fully connected layer. This layer classifies images based on feature vectors.
5. Compile the model
To compile the model, you need to specify the loss function, the optimizer, and metrics.
The loss function is used to measure how well the model performs on the training data. The optimizer is used to update the weights of the model to minimize the loss function. Metrics are used to evaluate model performance on training and testing data.
Use the following code to compile the model:
This code uses “sparse_categorical_crossentropy” for the loss function, “adam” for the optimizer, and “accuracy” for the metric.
6. Train the model
To train the model, run the code below:
This code trains the model for 10 epochs (iterations).
7. Evaluate the model
To evaluate the model, run the code below:
This code calculates the model’s accuracy on the test data.
8. Make predictions
To make predictions on a new image, run the code below:
This code outputs the predictions the model made on the test image.
This was the first step toward image recognition. In this blog, I introduced the basic steps for training a model for image classification using TensorFlow.
Hi, I am “Jitsuharan” who belongs to the 2nd unit. I joined Dandelions in April of this year!
Career History
I am from Nagano Prefecture and I attended a science related university in Nagoya. Before joining the company, I had very little knowledge and no experience in the field of IT, but after joining Dandelions, I received an IT training and I was able to obtain the “IT Passport” qualification. Currently, I am studying hard to obtain other qualifications!
Current work
After doing a 3 months IT training, I started in July working on my current project. I am creating a design document for an application management system using Outsystems. At first, they were a lot of things that I did not understand and it was quite difficult. However, and thanks to the support of my senior colleagues and fellow project members, I gradually got used to the work. I think it is important to ask my seniors about things I do not understand or have questions about, and it helps me take actions and progress. I will continue to learn a lot from my seniors!
Now I will introduce my daily schedule. 8:40 AM: I go to work 9:00 AM: I start working 9:30 AM: Morning meeting (with my coworkers, we confirm the day’s work and share information) 12:15 PM: Lunch break (I often eat lunch with my project members at the cafeteria) 13:15 PM: I restart working 16:00 PM: I write on my “progress report” today’s work 18:00 PM: I leave work
Self-introduction
I grew up in a small town called Achimura in Nagano Prefecture. Compared to Nagoya, it is very rural and empty! I still have fond memories when I was in high school of walking an hour to the closest bus stop to hang out with friends. They are not many things to do here, but Achimura also has some famous tourist spots! It is becoming a hot topic lately, but it is the place with the most beautiful starry sky in Japan! You cannot see many stars in Nagoya, but every time I step outside my family’s house, the starry sky is as beautiful as if it was a planetarium! I love this starry sky and I often go back to my hometown to look at the stars. (There is a high probability that it will be cloudy on the day I return home.)
The flowers of the peach trees of Achimura are also famous. During the blossom season, many tourists come to Achimura to see them. I went to see them this spring too and it was so beautiful! As you can see on the picture, the entire area is colored with red, white, and pink flowers, which is amazing! The day this place will become an Instagrammable spot is near… The place where you can see the peach flowers is close to the place where you can take a starry sky tour, so I think it is a good idea to visit both places! There are also various tourist spots such as hot springs and glamping facilities, as well as delicious food, so please come and visit my hometown, Achimura!
That is all for now. Please look forward to the next employee introduction!
