Hi, I'm Takashi Matsusaki—a lifelong builder and leader. I've been developing software since childhood.

I'm passionate about all things software and am currently exploring ideas in the AI and blockchain spaces, aiming to make a meaningful impact.

I love working on open-source projects and enjoy contributing to others' work, such as foundry-rs/compilers#35.

• Currently bootstrapping several MVPs while considering starting a startup.
• Founded an open-source, decentralized online game built on blockchain, where I managed the entire project and handled all aspects of development and operations.
• Architected the backend and formed/led the team at one of Japan's leading smartphone game companies. Successfully handled write-heavy traffic (~10,000 requests/sec) using techniques like load balancing and database sharding.
• Studied Electronics and Information Engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Ishikawa College. (Note: This competitive Japanese college admits students after junior high school, and I earned my high school diploma there.)
• Began my professional career at age 17, working as a part-time software engineer during a school break.
• Won Japan's premier youth programming contest with a web application I developed. (33rd U-20 Programming Contest, hosted by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry)
• As a kid, I built web apps, smartphone apps, video games, and even custom Minecraft servers.
