Full-stack Developer
From UX and UI to server logic, authentication, permissions, database design, testing, and deployment
Drawing on the customer perspective I developed in apparel store operations, I design and build web applications end to end, from usable interfaces to server logic and databases, using Next.js, React, TypeScript, Prisma, and PostgreSQL.
About 9 years in apparel store operations | Senior Partner and shift lead | 300+ SKUs and 1,000+ customers on peak days
- Full-stack development with Next.js App Router, TypeScript, and Prisma/PostgreSQL
- Design and implementation of a multi-tenant purchase-planning app (subdomain routing, RBAC)
- Auth, i18n, server-side validation, deployment
- Unit / integration testing with Vitest
Based in Saitama, Japan Open to hybrid roles in the Tokyo area or remote roles
I believe the best web apps should be minimal, refined, and built to serve the product's core purpose: helping people make decisions, stay organized, and take action without clutter, confusion, or wasted time.
- Start with a small, working slice of the product.
- Define schemas and constraints early (so the app stays coherent as it grows).
- Write code that's readable first, clever second.
- Treat UI copy and micro-interactions as part of engineering, not an afterthought.
About / what I'm looking for
I'm open to Frontend and Full-stack Developer roles where I can deliver features end to end, bringing a focus on user experience to UI implementation, server logic, database design, testing, and deployment.
Strengths
- Observing user behavior and real-world constraints from store operations experience
- Turning customer-facing and team operations experience into clear UI copy and usable flows
- Designing authentication, permissions, tenant isolation, and data constraints across the UI and server
Ideal environment
- A product team that values practical UX, clear constraints, and maintainable systems
- Tokyo-area hybrid or remote (JST)
