CF : So are you using Ruby mostly for programming?

A : On the front side we use Java, but on the server-side we use Ruby on Rails.

CF: Some engineers like Ruby & some don’t. What are your views about this language?

A : Ruby is good to write & read, but when it runs, it is slow & bad in memory. If you want something real quick & easy Ruby is perfect. It's very convenient & powerful.

CF: What languages you studied during your college?

A : C, C++, JAVA & assembly. I also did a binary in my college. And to graduate, we made a project using HTML only.

CF: Was is it difficult to learn a language on your own?

A : Yes, a little bit. I learned Japanese on my own, and also Ruby by googling & watching videos.
But the hardest part for me was learning the company’s code. It actually took a long time. There was no easy way to learn but to fix the bugs and learn the code while doing so.

Japanese was harder for me to learn because I was doing it alone in Puerto Rico. I couldn’t practice it much. I remember I also watched anime in Japanese, to learn better. 

CF: You sound like a very motivated person. From where does this motivation come?

A : Actually till 8th I was very rebellious and my focus was not towards study. But soon after joining another school which was specialized in maths & science, I got back on tracks.

CF: Do you wish to settle down in Japan? Or explore more?

A : I wish the whole world was like Japan. It’s so peaceful and has the best transport in the whole world. But I wish to explore more. World is too big.

CF: What is your future career plan in Japan.

A : Getting better at what I do. I wish to develop a better bug-less perfect system.

CF: What's your biggest dream?

A : To reach people with music. Build applications that can bring people together. And also save the environment.

CF: Any advice for candidates wanting to build their career in Japan?

A : One can achieve anything even if you don’t know the language. You just need to put all your energy and focus on your goal.

CF: Thank you very much for such great advice. Hope it inspires other candidates to build their career in Japan.
