about leo

A software generalist from Japan in love with computers.

I prefer to work as an independent contributor at the intersection of programming languages, programmable environments, and AI.

I like my software simple, robust, and responsible.

I care deeply about our relationship with technology. After exploring this interest through security, privacy, and education, I believe that reducing complexity is the key to powerful systems where people have agency.

While practical at work, I value building from first principles. Like old-school game devs building bespoke engines, I believe building the best personal software involves building your own "software engine".

As part of this practice, I've been hacking on my personal software runtime.

Currently, I work with the talented team at Software Applications Incorporated on personal computing experiences.
