Hikaru Nishida is a software engineer based in Tokyo with 11 years of experience specializing in operating systems and kernel stability, currently contributing to ChromeOS at Google. He has a strong systems background demonstrated by research and production work on non-volatile memory—building an OS leveraging NVDIMMs and evaluating Optane DC Persistent Memory—and by creating a non-volatile programming language during an open-source lab program. Hikaru also brings practical network engineering experience, having led Japan’s first disaggregated DWDM PoC to run 800Gbps over a single dark fiber and automated multi-vendor appliance management. Comfortable moving between research prototypes and large-scale product code, he blends low-level systems expertise with pragmatic tooling and automation to reduce vendor lock-in and production incidents.
