About Me

Introduction
Hi!
I'm Shinya Sakakibara (榊原伸也). Call me "BARA".
I live in Nagoya, Japan. Do you know Nagoya City?
I run a small company that does software development in Nagoya.
Also, I'm friend with Yoshi from NagoyaFab, and we are working together to start Fab Lab in Nagoya.
I joined Fab Academy 2026 because I want to learn more about digital fabrication and meet people from all over the world.
I graduated from a musical instrument making school. So I'm good at woodworking!
After school, I met computers and got really interested in programming and network technology.
Work Experience
I worked at several companies, and then I started my own company a few years ago.
Now I make software and help people with technology.
Skills
- Programming: I can write code in several languages
- Woodworking: I learned this at school
- Electronics: I'm still learning!
My Hobbies
I really like making things and fixing things. It's very fun for me!
I also have many interests like sports and food. I always want to try something new and challenge myself.
Please check my YouTube channel too! (I make videos about my projects)
Why Fab Academy?
Fab Academy is a new learning opportunity for me.
I work as an engineer, but I think I still have much to learn. This is a chance to review my skills again, so I can teach technology to other people better.
Also, I cannot speak English fluently. Through this program, I want to improve my English skill too.
I hope this will be a chance to make my life and someone else's life more rich and happy.
