Ian Bayne is a bilingual (Japanese-English) full-stack software engineer based in Tokyo with 11 years of professional experience, blending web and mobile app development expertise with a background in translation and cross-cultural collaboration. He has delivered client-facing projects end-to-end—building RESTful APIs, SPAs, and CI/CD pipelines using technologies like Ruby on Rails, Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Heroku—often under tight deadlines and with strong stakeholder communication. At Tacchi Studios he led long-running projects, improved submission workflows (3x increase), and maintained high test coverage and rapid delivery through robust CI practices. A fast learner who transitioned from translation to engineering, he brings an unusual combination of linguistic fluency, user-focused product sense, and practical engineering discipline to multicultural, distributed teams.
