Past work
While at Google I’ve worked on a projects and services relating to containers, security, and open-source, including the SLSA framework and gVisor.
Prior to Google I focused on developer communities developing Connpass, the largest IT meetup event tool in Japan with hundreds of thousands of users. I also co-founded and served on the board of PyCon JP, the largest Python event in Japan.
During this time I was a Google Developer Expert specializing in the Python language version of App Engine.
