Thank you for reading.
I’m “Ryu,” and I’ll be writing this employee profile. (This is my first appearance.)
I’d like to talk about what led me to join Dandelions and my thoughts since joining the company.
Reason for joining the company
I have been involved in system development and operations and maintenance for approximately 13 years. Focusing primarily on financial systems, I have gained extensive experience across the entire development lifecycle, from requirements definition through design, development, and testing to operations and maintenance.
As I gained experience in the same field over the years, I became able to perform my duties consistently and developed a certain level of confidence in my abilities. However, at the same time, I began to wonder more and more, “Is this really enough?” and felt a growing desire to take on new challenges in emerging technologies.
The IT industry changes rapidly, and there is a constant demand for new technologies and methodologies. To continue growing professionally in this environment, I’ve come to realize that I need to step outside my comfort zone and take on new challenges.
Additionally, as an engineer working in Japan, I wanted to grow not only in my technical skills but also in my communication skills and ability to work effectively as part of a team.
It was under these circumstances that I came across Dandelions. I was drawn to the opportunity to take on new technologies and environments, as well as to a workplace where I can thrive regardless of my nationality, and I am truly grateful for the chance to join the company.
My thoughts since joining the company
Since joining the company, I’ve been working in a development environment that moves at a faster pace than ever before. Since the environment and required skills vary from project to project, I was a bit overwhelmed at first, but that has allowed me to learn a great deal.
I’ve had more opportunities to work with technologies I hadn’t encountered before, and I can really feel my development skills—particularly in Java—improving. Through daily trial and error, I can sense my own growth.
Although I sometimes face challenges in my work, I feel that solving them one by one with the support of those around me is helping me grow.
I am also deeply grateful to our CEO, president, and all my colleagues for their kindness; whenever I’ve faced difficulties, they’ve always offered their wholehearted support. Having an environment where I can feel comfortable seeking advice is a tremendous source of support.
I feel that Dandelions fosters an environment where it’s easy to communicate and seek advice, regardless of age or nationality. Through these opportunities for interaction, I feel that the bonds between colleagues have grown stronger, and we’ve been able to build better relationships.



At Todagawa Green Space. I realized that just by changing my perspective a little, even the familiar scenery looks different.
That concludes this blog post.
We hope you’ll look forward to our next post.
