Become a sponsor to Kenta Iwasaki

Heyo - I'm Kenta Iwasaki.

I often participate in hackathons, create/advise/consult for startups, produce new research on statistics/machine learning/distributed systems/consensus protocols/data structures, contribute to Zig and presently spend my free time working on async runtimes, lock-free programming, consensus protocols, databases, and blockchains.

I started programming since I was about 6 years old, founded and raised 60 million dollars running a startup called Perlin, led AI research at NAVER Clova, freelanced as an AI and distributed systems expert for several companies, and won 20+ competitions and hackathons under Google, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, Mozilla, Stanford University, US Department of State, General Electric, etc.

I deeply care about research and building libraries and projects that help developers and startups in scaling out their products, services, businesses, and platforms.

If you'd like to show your appreciation for any of the open-source projects or work I've done, please do send me many coffees my way :).
