Summary
Kévin Bulmé is a bilingual Staff Front End Engineer based in Sapporo with a decade of experience building web products and leading teams across Japan’s tech landscape. He’s moved between hands-on front-end work and leadership roles—most notably advancing to Head of Engineering at Shippio and later managing web technologies and ads manager efforts at SmartNews—so he combines product-minded engineering with organisational strategy. Comfortable in both startup and large-company contexts, he focuses on B2B solutions while holding a strong personal conviction that code should improve society. Fluent in cross-functional collaboration, he has a background in technical product work (design systems) and even scientific simulation from an academic stint, which informs his analytical approach to problems. Always open to mentoring and advice, he brings a pragmatic, growth-oriented perspective to teams scaling engineering impact.
