Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShinya Kawanaka is a versatile technology leader and serial founder with 17 years of experience spanning systems, compilers, web engines, and AI. As Co-Founder and CTO of 株式会社ナレッジワーク and founder of Lambdabox and YUHA, he combines hands-on engineering with product and editorial work—publishing technical articles on competitive programming and game AI. His decade at Google driving WebKit/Blink and build-speed improvements (2x–4x) complements earlier research roles where he turned multi-hour jobs into sub-minute runs. Equally at home in infrastructure, binary hacking, and UI, he is pragmatic about focus areas (notably avoiding blockchain and social games) and has a penchant for puyopuyo AI experimentation. Educated at the University of Tokyo (Master’s in Computer Science), he brings rare depth across low-level performance tuning and higher-level application design.
