Six Months in Cybersecurity and Japanese Culture

Hello, I’m Sacha. I’m from the UK and came to Japan to explore its fascinating culture and to work as an intern, gaining valuable experience with Tokyo ICT. Over the past six months, I’ve had the opportunity to learn a great deal about cybersecurity and software development, along with the powerful tools used in the field. I’ve also learned two new programming languages, which I believe will be invaluable for my future endeavors.

When I first started my internship, I found it quite challenging—both adjusting to working in an office environment and adapting to Japanese work culture. However, I received a lot of support, which helped me overcome these hurdles. Thanks to this, I was able to develop a network analysis tool for the company—my proudest achievement so far in my software development journey.

I’ll miss the wonderful places, the delicious food, and the amazing people I’ve met here. If you’re thinking about coming to Japan for an internship, I highly encourage you to give it a try as it’s a amazing experience you won’t regret!
