Saita Shinya

An engineer who builds everything:
Web, desktop, and browser extensions

I develop web systems professionally, and build desktop apps and browser extensions in my personal time.

I love seeing users happy with what I build. My motto is "be your own first customer" — I create products that I genuinely want to use myself.

With a background in both design and engineering, I have developed across the full spectrum: web, desktop, and browser extensions.

SKILL

HTML5 / CSS3 / JavaScript / TypeScript

Extensive experience including responsive design and CSS animations. Strong in web design and coding, with many SPA projects built with Vue and React.

Go

My go-to language for performance-focused development. My favorite framework is Gin. Used for the backends of SVG Calendar and dev-cabinet.

Rust (Tauri)

I build desktop apps with Tauri (Rust + Web). Used in Bokuchi, Micro Note, Lightning Timer, and more.

Node.js / Python

Used for scripting, server-side development, and data processing depending on the task. Languages I have been using more and more in recent years.

PHP

The language I have the longest experience with. My favorite framework is CakePHP. Used for many years in OSS development and B2B SaaS backends.

Git / Docker / AWS

Comfortable with version control, containerization, and cloud infrastructure — from setting up development environments to running them in production.

Photoshop / Illustrator / Premiere Pro

Also skilled in design and video editing. I have always loved turning the images in my head into something real.
