Hi, I am not an English speaker and this is my AI generated profile; though it is not written by me, they are mostly aligned to my real philosophy,too. I am just not very good at writing English. << This was written by me, though.
I'm a jazz guitarist, rhythm analyst, and full-stack engineer.
My life bridges sound and syntax—swing and structure.
While most people separate art from logic, I believe groove and grammar share a pulse.
-
🎵 Jazz Guitar & Rhythm Theory
Exploring groove beyond notation, and developing methods to quantify musical "soul."
Special focus on the contrast between 縦乗り (tatenori) and syncopated rhythm. -
🌐 Full-stack Engineering
Architect of self-made Node.js + PostgreSQL frameworks.
Passionate about minimal, expressive systems. -
💬 Linguistic Hacking
Fluent in Japanese, Lao Isaan, Thai, and English
I also "speak" Java, Lisp, Scheme, and several custom DSLs I've crafted.
- 🎶 Tatenori Analysis Toolkit – Quantifying rhythm feel using multi-layered time divisions (12/8, 36/16, 108/16)
- 📚 Thankspedia/libtbc – A grassroots semantic network with versioned systemd-like modularity
- ✍️ English Translations of my 70+ articles on Japanese rhythm culture

| Layer | Technologies Used | My Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Frontend | React / TypeScript / Tailwind CSS | Built modular UI components and design systems with handcrafted logic for data-driven views. |
| Backend | Node.js / Express / Custom DSLs | Designed entire server-side frameworks, including routing, auth, async task pipelines, and custom domain-specific languages (DSLs). |
| Data / Infra | PostgreSQL / systemd / UTM (ARM VM on macOS) | Architected full database schemas, multi-server systemd service orchestration, and portable dev environments via virtualized ARM setups. |
I don’t just use frameworks — I create them from scratch,
down to their routing, serialization, configuration, and deployment layers.
I believe in building tools that do exactly what’s needed—nothing more, nothing less.
This means understanding the internals, stripping away abstractions when needed,
and writing expressive, minimal, deeply composable systems.
Whether it's a music sequencer in Scheme, a multi-versioned knowledge base, or a service orchestration layer using systemd, I take pride in writing code that feels like it was meant to be played, not just compiled.

“The real rhythm can't be faked —
it lives between the beats, in the silence,
in what machines still don’t know how to feel.”
