The journey. I started in Tokyo with a BS in
Computer Science from Temple University's Japan campus, then
earned an MSc in Computer Science from Birmingham City University
with Distinction. Along the way I moved from IoT prototypes to
shipping mobile apps used in the real world.
What I do now. I'm a React Native developer
building cross-platform apps backed by Node.js APIs and serverless
AWS. I've led frontend and backend work, mentored junior
developers, and tuned systems for speed — cutting API response
times by 60% and load times by 40%.
How I work. I like problems that span the stack:
a clean mobile UI, a resilient API behind it, and the cloud
plumbing that keeps it fast and cheap. I'm just as comfortable
with a machine-learning pipeline as a CI/CD one.
