ABOUT CHIBIHAM — 35.44°N 139.64°E

A freelance developer based in Yokohama, Japan.

I've developed web applications since 2016 and worked independently since 2023.
My experience spans front-end, back-end, and infrastructure, from design to implementation and operations.

FIG.02HOW I WORK

Design to keep
responding to change.

Experience and strengths

Assumptions shift. What we need changes.
I value the agility to keep moving, learning and revisiting decisions along the way.

PRINCIPLE 01

Keep asking what better means.

Better for whom, and in what way? I revisit problems and assumptions, using people’s experiences and real feedback to clarify what we should aim for.

PRINCIPLE 02

Try, check, and revise.

I turn hypotheses into working software and learn from the response. Moving between design and implementation, I update decisions and use what I learn to improve the next iteration.

PRINCIPLE 03

Build structures that can adapt.

I think about boundaries that make the effects of change clear, and checks that let us make changes with confidence. I record the reasons behind decisions so the product and team can keep moving.
