Thank you for reading.
Nice to meet you—I’m “Lulu,” and I joined the company in April 2026!
In this post, I’d like to share what led me to join the Dandelions and my thoughts since joining.
The reason I joined the company
I majored in microbiology in college and was interested in medicine and the mechanisms of disease. However, when I realized that working as a researcher in Japan required a high level of Japanese proficiency, I began studying the basics of IT while continuing to learn Japanese. After that, I moved from Chiba Prefecture to Nagoya and began looking for a job in the IT industry.
When I first learned about Dandelions, Inc., I was drawn to its corporate philosophy of valuing employee growth and its warm, welcoming atmosphere where Japanese and international employees work together.
Since joining the company, I’ve found it deeply rewarding to be able to grow and learn in an environment where I can take on the challenges of IT and web development—which had always been my goal.
Impressions After Joining the Company
I’m still getting used to the job, but through training, I’m deepening my understanding of IT fundamentals while also enjoying learning new technologies such as Java and SQL.
I’m still learning Japanese, but thanks to the kind support of my boss and senior colleagues, I’ve gradually come to understand not only the technical aspects but also the company culture and how work is done here.
Before joining the company, I thought Japanese companies would have a much stricter work environment, but in reality, it’s a warm and supportive place, and I find it very easy to work here.
Self‑Introduction
Outside of work, I enjoy watching horror movies, eating good food, and visiting new places. When I lived in the U.S., I used to enjoy taking spontaneous drives with my dog.
Since coming to Japan, my wife and I have been visiting various places together and collecting magnets from our travels. So far, we’ve traveled to Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, and Mexico, and we also explore different parts of Japan whenever we find the time.
Since moving to Japan in 2022, we have visited 28 prefectures. Our goal is to visit all 47 prefectures someday.





I love taking photos when I travel.
Thank you for reading this far.
That’s all for today.
Stay tuned for our next employee spotlight!
