# 友田 陽大 — Full-stack engineering / SaaS & industry DX / Generative AI > A Japan-based full-stack engineer and technical advisor who single-handedly built a B2B SaaS — recognized with a Japanese METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) award — from design through infrastructure. Using generative AI (Claude Code), I deliver requirements, implementation, testing, E2E, Terraform IaC, and operations end-to-end: fast, cost-effective, and secure. Core stack: Next.js / React / TypeScript / Python / AWS / RAG.
