About

Taiki Noda

Go backend engineer. I publish OSS centered on gpdf, a pure Go PDF library, and run micro SaaS products on top of it.

My backend career began in Go; on the frontend I lean Vue 3. I'm interested in design that keeps a product alive past launch, and in sustainable product operations around it.

Contribute to the world through OSS, make a living through micro SaaS. Running both wheels keeps either side from tipping too far, and that's the only way I've found to keep going long term.
