Summary
Masao Uebayashi is a seasoned systems engineer and long-time NetBSD contributor with 24+ years of hands-on experience in kernel, device driver, toolchain and embedded board bring-up across PowerPC, MIPS64/OCTEON and SuperH platforms. He founded Tombi Inc. to provide professional NetBSD support, has driven full-time NetBSD development for years, and contributed ports and low-level features such as XIP support and 64-bit MIPS enhancements that boosted system performance. Comfortable from POSIX shell scripting to C-level kernel hacking, he pairs deep technical craftsmanship with practical product work—having even worked on InfiniBand multi-node systems and custom I/O drivers. Based in Yokohama, he combines open-source community leadership (The NetBSD Foundation, AsiaBSDCon) with a preference for self-taught, foundational problem solving and an unusual personal goal of living a semi-programmer, semi-fisherman life in the countryside.
