About Me

I am a highly motivated Lead Systems Engineer and Full-Stack Developer with a strong passion for building innovative web applications and robust APIs. Currently based in Akita, Japan, I bring expertise across back-end architecture, front-end development, and cloud infrastructure.

I specialise in delivering high-quality, scalable solutions using Next.js, Node.js, and Java Spring Boot — paired with cloud deployment on AWS and GCP. Beyond the code, I thrive in leadership roles: directing concurrent projects, conducting code reviews, and mentoring engineers to perform at their best.

When I am not shipping features, I enjoy contributing to technical communities and sharing knowledge — a value rooted in my time leading the UCSMTC technology committee.
