If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.
However, I’ll go as far as I can alone
on the narrow way.

Profile
Kota Hisafuru (久古 幸汰)
Born 1999, from Yokoze, Chichibu, Saitama.
After founding a company and doing research at university, I now build my own products while working as an IT engineer. Web development is my centre of gravity, and I work across machine learning, IoT and robotics as well.
I hope the things I build are of some use to the world.

Six years at Waseda, undergraduate and master’s. In the Togawa Laboratory I researched hardware security with a focus on IoT, working on detection methods for hardware trojans, an expected future threat, and proposing an approach based on machine learning. In 2021, while still a student, I founded yosugara Inc. with a friend, running research and development side by side.
