About Me

Hello! Iā€™m a software developer with a passion for front-end technologies, game development, open source, and building tools that make everyday life a little easier. I enjoy working on projects that blend creativity and functionality, and Iā€™m always looking for opportunities to learn and grow as a developer. In my previous role, I worked as a software engineer at a small startup in Nagoya, Japan, where I focused on front-end development using React and Next.js.

Currently, I am a Sustaining Engineer at Canonical, the creator of Ubuntu. I work on maintaining and improving production systems by debugging complex issues, fixing bugs, and ensuring long-term stability and reliability of the software our Ubuntu users depend on.

In my free time, I enjoy cooking and eating good food, playing and developing games, and spending quality time with friends, family, and my cats.
