Hiroshi Miura is a seasoned data architect and open source leader with 26 years of experience blending platform engineering, build systems, and community stewardship. As representative director of OpenStreetMap Foundation Japan and a lead developer of OmegaT, he champions open data, localization, and practical OSS tooling while holding senior technical roles at NTT and Japan’s Digital Agency. His contributions span low-level build and packaging work (CMake, vcpkg), geospatial infrastructure (GDAL), and internationalization efforts that make software more accessible to Japanese users. Known for bridging R&D, productization, and community engagement, he combines deep hands-on expertise in Linux/Open Source platforms with a knack for coordinating cross-border innovation projects. An unexpected thread through his career is persistent focus on developer experience—from CI/Vagrant automation to translation tooling—helping complex systems be reproducible and usable.
