About me

Hello, こんにちは, I'm Ed

I'm a curious, creative thinker who loves turning ideas into reality. Whether I'm collaborating with others or working independently. I'm currently looking for new and exciting opportunities that align with my strengths and values.

Two things I greatly enjoy: tinkering with my home lab and getting my hands dirty in the garden. Whether I'm shaping garden trees through niwaki (庭木) or spinning up a new server, I love projects that let me learn, explore, and create something meaningful.

If the kanji and hiragana didn’t already give it away, I live in Japan.

I have worked with amazing people

“Thinking back on the 3 or so years that Ed and I worked together, the relationship that we built had a monumental impact on me personally and professionally. We were able to navigate complex situations with clear and direct communication and open feedback. Ed helped me see what is possible with motivation from a strong vision, clear strategy and goals. I was able to set the scene, sit back and watch Ed simply bloom.


Ed always stood out to me as one of the strongest examples I've ever seen as someone with a keen ability to learn, fixate on intricate, old, new and emerging technologies. Engrossing himself with them until he developed a deep understanding. Combined with a very practical and efficient work style, he is able to take on a high workload of complex activity.


Any time I invested in coaching or advising Ed was very well spent as he was quick to implement different approaches to his work. He has a tenacity, and a glow in him when he envisions something and is quick to execute to make it a reality.


Ed has a strong set of principals, his character is honorable and he accepts vulnerability to grow as a person. I was never left to wonder about his dedication and commitment to our goals, team and company. His authenticity gives him the capability to act as a coach and mentor which was pivotal to our teams development.


I would highly recommend Ed for roles that require tenacity, quick learning and high levels of technical and analytical proficiency. ”

“When you think back to previous employment, there are always a few people that you miss working with. Ed is such a person and still remains one of my favorites colleagues to this day. Our work together was both as Hardware Engineers, but for different languages.


Even when working with a full team of technicians and engineers, Ed stood out as a "go-to" guy, as his technical ability and drive to learn always put in the front, even in a team of specialists. This is paired with a very open and cooperative personality, leading to frequent cases of knowledge exchange, improvement, talking shop, or simply friendly exchanges.


No matter what field Ed may be in, I can only imagine him as being at the center of it with 100% effort and anyone should be happy to have him join their team.”

“With much enthusiasm i recommend Ed to any IT job that are thinking on having him onboard.


Helping others and going the extra mile for the business needs are truly phenomenal.


When it comes to new hires and out of scope he is willing to help other people to improve themselves and learn them from his years of experience in the job field.


Have been working with Ed for sometime and every time a difficult IT related issue comes along Ed for me was first point of contact as i always got a clear view of the issue and a clear path forward.


He has a very special place for me as i learn so much from him and know he will go very far in life. ”

“It was a pleasure to work with Ed on the very first days OVHcloud Public cloud customer support, more than 5 years ago. Everything had to be built from scratch and ED's curiosity, technicity and customer empathy were key to the success of what has quickly become the 3rd source of revenue for the company.


Fluent in multiple language, Ed was also very autonomous to write the technical content we were lacking. Looking forward to work with him again one day !”
