Top SchoolDaven Lu is a bilingual (English/Japanese JLPT N1) software engineer based in Tokyo with eight years of experience building full-stack web applications and bridging teams across cultures. Currently at Slalom, he blends hands-on development (Python/Django, React/Vue, SQL) with strong communication skills honed as a bridge engineer to streamline cross-border product delivery.

MSoup/DDRSongAggregator
Feb 2020 - Mar 2021
Dance Dance Revolution has been a very large part of my life. As a tribute to my love for it, I made a song aggregator. It scrapes the DDR song list and find all songs available on spotify (and apple music soon).
