Hi! I’m Wei Jie from Singapore, but you can call me Jay.

I studied Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Tohoku University in Sendai from 2019 to 2023, and later worked in Kobe in 2024 at a fashion brand.

I developed an interest in leather craft and worked at a local studio in Singapore before starting my own small business. While I’m still looking for a stable job due to financial challenges, I continue to pursue my craft on the side. Right now, I’m on a journey of self-discovery — exploring what I truly want to do next. I’d love to hear your life stories and experiences as well, and share ideas and perspectives together!

If you will host me: I’m genuine, easygoing, tidy, and always grateful for any hospitality shown to me. In return, I could host you or show you around in Singapore.

I can also speak Japanese, so I’d be happy to communicate in either English or Japanese.

こんにちは！シンガポール出身のウェイジェイです。ジェイと呼んでください。

2019年から2023年まで東北大学で機械知能航空工学を学び、2024年には神戸でちょっと働いていました。

レザークラフトに興味を持ち、シンガポールの地元の工房で働いた後、自分の小さなビジネスを始めました。経済的な問題から安定した仕事を探している最中ですが、副業として自分の技術を追求し続けています。今、私は自分探しの旅を続けています。あなたの人生の話や経験もぜひ聞かせてください！

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been casted in a Japanese movie (2023) before, called 有り触れた未来 (Ari Fureta Mirai). Please watch it and spot my name in the credits! Unfortunately only the back of my head was shot so I didn't get much screen time.
