Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTakeshi Inoue is a senior software engineer and founder with over four decades of hands-on development experience and a decade-plus of recent professional activity, blending deep systems expertise with product-minded engineering. He has built complete software products from marketing and specification through UI, algorithms, testing and support, shipped consumer Windows software sold in the millions, and developed secure Linux and embedded systems including IPTV/STB and Android image-recognition apps. As a "playing manager" he has seven years of management experience while remaining an active coder, and he has worked as a partner with U.S. companies and on cross-platform UI engines for consoles and mobile. His open-source contributions include backend fixes and Lua integration for the notable tilemaker project, showing continued involvement in geospatial tooling. Based in Tokyo with an MS in Computer Science from Tokyo Institute of Technology, he combines legacy platform fluency (C/C++, Java, embedded OS) with modern product and usability focus. An underrated strength is his full-stack ownership—he routinely spans low-level firmware to user-facing interfaces and even patents and manuals, making him rare as both an engineer and product integrator.
