About myself - call me “HARU”

I’m a freelance engineer, and making the tools or equipments which bring out human abilities.

My background

I used to be working for a large equipment company, and was developing diesel engines. Basically, I’m a mechanical engineer, but also have an experience of managing the software development for some part of the engine control systems.

Through the development of large equipments, and after visiting huge mining sites in the world, I started to think that human-scale tools are more important for the sustainable life.
