01About
Intellectually creative and analytically minded
I'm Zenji, a Business Administration student at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business with minors in Data Science and Global Digital Infrastructures. I'm part of the inaugural 4-year Haas Spieker Business Program cohort, and will be studying abroad at The London School of Economics for the 2026–2027 academic year.
I've worked in ecommerce operations at TikTok Shop's Collectibles Central Campaigns team, supported undergraduate research on data center impacts, worked abroad at a non-profit in Copenhagen, Denmark as a Marketing Analytics Intern, and more. I find the intersection of technology, sustainability, and entrepreneurship intriguing!
Outside of professional and academic work I practice kendo (a Japanese Martial Art), rock climb, tinker with technology, and make specialty coffees like espresso and pour overs. I've also modified watches, built pens, edited video, supported Folding@home, and made art (check it out here).

04The board
Modeled on a split-flap board in the lobby of the Seattle Art Museum — analog, and whirring quietly as the letters turn over. Most of the lines are from Dead Poets Society, which changed how I think and what I value; the rest are counts from the archive and whatever I last wrote.
