Bio

Based on Ogijima, a small island in Japan’s Seto Inland Sea, I work at the intersection of open source, community building, culture, and technology.

I serve as a Program Manager for the WordPress Community Team, am the Lead Organizer of WordCamp Asia 2027, and chair Ogijima Library, a community library and cultural organization.

Outside of WordPress, I work as a designer, photographer, and writer, documenting island life and exploring how digital tools can support small communities.

Interests

Film photography, Novels and Poetry, WordPress, Library
