Summary
Shingo Hisakawa is a Tokyo-based software and hardware entrepreneur with 13+ years building full-stack services and physical products. Since 2008 he has run Toriningen, Inc., creating and selling open hardware from a home workshop—including a self-made DNA amplifier—while handling application development, server engineering, DBA, system analysis and project management. Earlier he rose from part-time programmer to CTO at HMSYSTEMS, delivering high-throughput mobile services, a segmented mailer supporting millions of users, and an IC card identification service using FeliCa.

Comfortable moving between low-level hardware and scalable web/smartphone systems, he’s notable for turning lab-style hardware builds into marketable products.
