About
Hi! I’m Toru Maesaka.
I spend a lot of time promoting and writing open source software and technology. I work in the Research and Development Group at Mixi, a Japanese company that runs the largest social network in Japan. I’m not really a researcher and consider myself a software engineer that love to get upfront and promote things that I believe in.
I was born in Kobe, Japan and I currently live in Tokyo. I lived in New Zealand from 1990 to 2006 and I graduated from the University of Otago with a degree and postgrad in Computer Science. These days I fly between the U.S. and Japan quite a bit for work related events. So I guess I’m an occasional time traveller that combats jetlag.
When I’m not working or reading, I usually workout at the gym, take photos or go out eating. I’m not a big drinker but enjoying a bottle or two of nice wine with friends is always great!
Open Source Projects
Here’s a list of open source projects that I’m involved with (alphabetical order).
