Taiga Mikami is a senior software engineer based in Chiyoda with nine years of practical experience spanning startups and major Japanese tech firms, now at LayerX after senior roles at Shippio and Yahoo Japan. He brings a full-stack focus with notable front-end work on civic projects like the Tokyo COVID-19 site and QA/test automation contributions to the widely used SimpleWebAuthn TypeScript libraries. A fast-moving hacker and frequent intern across many companies during his studies, he combines rapid prototyping instincts with disciplined testing and accessibility improvements. Academically grounded in information engineering and imaging from Chiba University and Matsue National College of Technology, he maintains a surprising dual identity as a junior-high-school-voiced GitHub presence while delivering senior-level outcomes. Colleagues describe him as able to ship end-to-end features quickly and harden them with careful unit tests and PEM/certificate validations.
