Summary
Passionate and skilled automotive service technician with a lifelong love for cars, especially Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) vehicles. I turned my enthusiasm into a profession, gaining hands-on experience in diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining a wide range of vehicles using the latest tools and technologies. Known for strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and dedication to delivering high-quality service.
In 2025, I fulfilled a childhood dream by traveling to Japan for a 10-day car enthusiast journey—driving a Veilside RX-7 replica on the Shuto Expressway and visiting Daikoku Parking Area, as well as renting a GR Supra to explore mountain roads,Hakone skyline, Mount Fuji, and Fuji Speedway. This experience further reinforced my passion and commitment to the automotive industry. I’m eager to continue developing my skills and contribute to a team that values excellence and innovation in car care.
