Hi there! Iβm Kohei (pronounced co-hey), a multitalented UX engineer based in Toronto, Canada, whoβs been surviving at the intersection of business, design and technology for 15+ years. I love getting my hands dirty to solve real-world problems, make things uncomplicated, and help people be more productive. πͺ
My work includes but not limited to competitive analysis, user interviews, surveys, A/B testing, UX/UI audit, information architecture, copywriting, prototyping, microinteractions, UX/UI design, product design, flyer/poster design, web design, frontend/backend web development, browser extension development, code refactoring, API design, DevOps, business development, partner relations, developer relations, marketing material design/development, press release writing/proofreading, technical and non-technical writing, ghostwriting, creative control, speaking engagements, magazine contributions, social media management, SEO, SEM, customer support and English-Japanese translation. π₯
A little puzzled? Imagine a ninja equipped with miscellaneous skills just slipped into the present. Well, you can just call me a hyper-generalist. π₯·
When it comes to web dev tech stacks, Iβm mainly experienced in React, AngularJS, Node.js, Perl, Python and PHP, but most of my projects these days are done with Svelte/SvelteKit because it saves a lot of time by simplifying the code. Check out my current public project, Sveltia CMS, which has quickly gained traction since its initial release. π
You can also find my previous public projects, BzDeck, Bugzilla UX and Firefox Site Compatibility, as well as open source contributions to Mozilla here and there. π¦
Iβm currently freelancing with clients in Canada, the USA, Australia, Japan and Germany. If youβre launching a startup or running a small business, this kind of one-stop top talent (full-stack web developer + UX/UI designer + marketer + more) is sure to be helpful. Feel free to reach out to me via email or LinkedIn today! π
