Bring Your Ideas Live.

Hi, I’m an independent web engineer based in Tokyo. My work tends to happen where technology meets people: building the web, clarifying ideas, and teaching for the next generation.

What I do

A practical mix of disciplines.

Web engineering

I work across the stack, with a recent focus on front-end and UI work backed by Node.js. That can mean a small, focused website or part of a larger product.

Product & technical consulting

I help turn an early idea into something buildable, or take a closer look at a service that is already running and needs a clearer next step.

Language & coordination

I support work that crosses Japanese and English through translation, interpretation, and the practical coordination that keeps international projects moving.

Teaching & research

My background includes teaching in different settings and an ongoing interest in anthropology and sociology. I am comfortable with unusual questions and interdisciplinary work.

Working together

Start with a conversation.

I work with people in Japan and elsewhere, and remote projects are welcome. Obalab is a small, personal practice, and I prefer direct communication and a thoughtful pace.
