Summary
Yoshikuni Kato is a versatile software engineer with over a decade of experience building cross-platform products—from AWS-backed TypeScript/Python services to native iOS apps and Elm/React frontends. Based in Rotterdam and originally from Japan, he blends functional programming principles with a strong eye for polished UI, shipping client products across startups and agencies since 2013. He has architected and refactored mobile apps at scale (RxSwift/Combine, SwiftUI, TCA) and implemented serverless backends and data pipelines using Lambda, DynamoDB, Cloud Functions and pandas. Comfortable as a solo consultant and as part of international teams, he introduced practices like pair programming, TDD and scrum-style retrospectives to improve quality and collaboration. His background—Master’s from the University of Tokyo and hands-on experience in both new-business teams and client projects—gives him a rare mix of product intuition and engineering craftsmanship.
