I’m a student at HAL Osaka, building production software by day and taking it apart by night.
Most of what I know came from shipping things that had to actually work — APIs that stay up, interfaces people can move through without thinking, and tooling that removes the boring parts of a workflow. I write across the stack because the interesting problems rarely respect the boundary between front and back.
The security side started as curiosity and turned into discipline. Working through authorized assessments taught me to read a system the way an attacker does: assume nothing, verify everything, and pay attention to the seams where two components agree to trust each other.
I’m mentored by a former Netflix Senior Cloud Engineer, which reset my sense of what “done” means. Reliability at scale, observability, blast-radius thinking — the habits that separate a project from a product.
