Solutions architect based in Tokyo. 13+ years across cloud architecture, distributed systems, large-scale data platforms, and AI. I lead a team of architects serving large digital platforms, and I'm as interested in the people and processes as in the technology. Still hands-on, still shipping code.

OSS author and maintainer: Fluent plugin for Amazon Kinesis (awslabs), ActivityNotification, agentverify.

I write about architecture lessons from real-world systems at blog.simukappu.com.
