About
“Anonymous Front-end Developer in Vancouver” is a personal blog run by Masa — a front-end developer based in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
As the title suggests, I'm still an anonymous developer in the vast world of the web. I may not be famous (yet!), but this space is where I share my journey — the wins, the struggles, and everything in between. Maybe one day, this “anonymous” name will be ironic. 😄
Here, you’ll find posts about web development, things I’ve studied or am currently learning, events I’ve joined, day-to-day thoughts, and whatever else I feel like sharing.
You can also find me on social media (or click the icons at the top right of this site). I tend to post a lot of random and trivial things — nothing too serious!
👤 about me
Hey, I’m Masa, a front-end developer living in beautiful Vancouver on the west coast of Canada.
Originally from Saitama, Japan (just next to Tokyo!), I moved to Vancouver with the goal of growing as a developer and someday becoming world-class. I graduated from an IT college in Japan, and since then, I’ve been building my skills and career in web development.
I have about 4 years of professional experience as a front-end developer. My main tools are React, TypeScript, and Next.js, and I’m always exploring new techniques and tools to stay sharp. I also have hands-on experience with UI libraries like Tailwind CSS, Chakra UI, and Ant Design.
While I’ve dabbled a bit in design, it’s not my strong suit — but it’s definitely something I’d love to improve in the future.
On the backend side, I’ve studied Node.js, MongoDB, and GraphQL, and I’ve built several projects using with them. I’m particularly interested in building well-structured, scalable applications using modern JavaScript architecture.
Lately, I’ve also been getting into Golang — it’s a language I find really fun to write, and I’m learning it step by step in my free time.
Feel free to check out my portfolio website to see some of my work.
