Summary
SHIMANE Yoshikazu is a Software Engineer in Test with 11 years of experience specializing in quality engineering for web and financial systems. He combines hands-on Java and C# development with deep database experience (MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL) to drive test automation and process improvements across product teams. As QA Tech Lead at LegalForce and the sole QA engineer at pixiv, he led cultural change initiatives, internal training, and company-wide quality campaigns that raised testing awareness. He volunteers in the testing community as a long-time organizer for JaSST Tokyo and SeleniumConf Tokyo, reflecting a commitment to advancing software testing practices beyond day-to-day work. Based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, he blends practical delivery experience from enterprise finance projects to modern SaaS workflows, and continues self-driven study in software engineering and quality management. An often-unseen strength is his track record of turning QA into a strategic enabler rather than a gate, embedding testing into development lifecycles.
