Hey there! I am currently studying Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Michigan (Honors Program).

I am passionate about applying solutions to real world problems, especially the intersection of finance and technology.

I am a Japanese-English bilingual, immigrant (from Japan), and explorer of the world. I love traveling, lifting, and running!

I am interested in anything! Reach out at ryoikeda@umich.edu!
