Software Engineer at Stealth Startup
Tokyo, Japan
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEitaro Fukamachi is a software engineer with 16 years of experience designing and shipping high-concurrency backend systems, payments platforms, and hardware-integrated services. He specializes in backend architecture and long-term maintainability, with uncommon deep expertise in Common Lisp alongside modern web stacks. Eitaro has led production deployments that improved performance under heavy load—migrating ad-network backends to Common Lisp for a 1.6x throughput gain and architecting coin-handling/payment systems used in the field. A prolific open-source maintainer, he authored and improved key Lisp projects (including the widely used roswell launcher and the lem editor) and contributed performance optimizations to non-blocking HTTP servers. Currently remote in Tokyo, he works on autonomous system software and internal tooling for US-based startups while also developing a DSL-driven PaaS. His blend of low-level tuning, high-concurrency design, and long-term library maintenance makes him a rare engineer who bridges production reliability and language-level craftsmanship.

A fast non-blocking HTTP server on top of libev
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:1 review, 388 commits, 63 PRs in 7 years 9 months
Contributions summary:Eitaro significantly improved the performance of the HTTP server, woo, by optimizing the HTTP parsing process. They achieved this by leveraging lower-level APIs of the `fast-http` library. Subsequent commits further enhanced efficiency by removing dependencies on `puri` and `do-urlencode` and by optimizing URL parsing and decoding, ultimately leading to a faster and more efficient web server. They also refactored the project into multiple packages for better code organization.
