Hi! I’m Ken Maeshima. I reside in Seattle, WA.

Some things I’m currently into are: Contributing to open-source (check-out rubyforgood/pet-rescue!), meeting people that code (local meetups and confs), reading fiction and code books, re-rewatching The Expanse, getting some fresh air, playing Dune Imperium, tinkering with my Spintronics circuits, and working on my pet projects (right now it’s Fae Scribe).

I formerly worked as a licensed structural engineer for 8 years. After deciding to pursue a career in software engineering instead, I completed the full-stack curriculum by The Odin Project. I worked on part of the curriculum while taking an 8 month road trip with my wife, visiting 22 National Parks from Texas to Washington.

I continued my education creating many projects that you can find on my Github. My current favorites are Fae Scribe and the authorization framework I implemented for Ruby for Good’s Pet Rescue.
