Shintaro (taroj1205) is a developer and a student at University of Auckland.

I went to New Zealand for the first time in 2017, and went to the local juniour high school in Auckland for a year.

I went to Cebu, Philippines for 3 months in 2018 to study English, then I went to local juniour high school in Cebu for a year.

I went back to New Zealand for the second time in 2019, and went to the local juniour high school in Auckland for 5 years.

I had an ACL injury in 2019 from playing football. I was told I'm too young for a surgery, so I started going to physio for rehabilitation.

After a year of rehabilitation, I returned light sports, and I did my 2nd ACL injury in 2020. I did a surgery, and recovered from the injury. I started playing various sports like football, table tennis and badminton.

Employment

I graduated my high school in 2023, and I started my university studies at University of Auckland. I was accepted to the Computer Science and IT Management double major program.

In January 2024, I was asked to be a teacher aid for the Japanese international students at my high school for a month, and I helped them with getting into school, resolving any issues they had whether it is school or home-stay related. I also made sure they are not being left behind in class.

In March 2024, I joined the Yamada UI maintainer team and I've been contributing to Yamada UI since. I had been taught various things by the Yamada UI team, and I'm learning more and more.

In July 2024, I was hired by YAGO as a teacher for classmall Kids which teaches programming to Japanese children on Minecraft Education.

In October 2024, I started contributing to Zen Browser's website, and joined their contribution team on November.
