Lead Engineer transforming ideas into robust applications | 21+ years in full-stack development | Passionate about Java, clean code, and innovative solutions
With over two decades of software engineering experience, I've built my career on delivering robust, scalable solutions that drive real business value. As a Lead Engineer specializing in full-stack development, I bring deep expertise in Java—my language of choice—along with comprehensive knowledge across the entire technology stack.
My Journey:
Born in Hyogo, Japan (1982), I've spent 21 years refining my craft in software development. I thrive on solving complex technical challenges and transforming ambitious ideas into production-ready applications. Whether it's architecting backend systems, optimizing performance, or implementing elegant frontend solutions, I approach each project with meticulous attention to detail.
Technical Philosophy:
I believe in writing clean, maintainable code that stands the test of time. My experience spans enterprise-level applications, microservices architectures, and modern web technologies. I'm comfortable leading development teams, mentoring junior developers, and collaborating with stakeholders to align technical solutions with business objectives.
Beyond Code:
For over 22 years, I've also been a techno DJ, inspired by legends like Richie Hawtin. In 2025, I'm expanding into track production, bringing the same precision and creativity from engineering to music creation. This unique blend of technical expertise and artistic sensibility allows me to approach problems from fresh perspectives.
I'm also a proud father to a university student (born 2016), and we maintain a close relationship despite my 2009 divorce. This experience has taught me valuable lessons in communication, flexibility, and work-life balance that I bring to every professional engagement.
