Taishi Nojima is a founding engineer and cybersecurity-minded builder with 11 years of experience launching and scaling early-stage startups from seed through growth.

His background spans hands-on security work at Facebook (threat detection and incident response) to product and infrastructure leadership across distributed teams in the US, Japan, and Argentina. Based in New York, he blends offensive curiosity (“building and breaking things”) with pragmatic engineering to ship secure, auditable systems at pace.
