Rui's the kind of person who taught himself to code by hanging around hackers online and absorbing everything from educational websites. He's trilingual—English, Japanese, and Chinese—which honestly fits the profile of someone who's basically been learning from the internet since day one. Currently based in Tokyo's Koto ward, living in one of those high-end apartment towers called Glorious Tower Toyosu.
He's best known for creating two social networking platforms: GALAX and President X. What drives a lot of his work is this pretty blunt take that Japan is basically stagnating, and he's genuinely motivated to push things forward and shake things up. His real strength is his intellect—like, demonstrably sharp in ways that show up in everything he builds.
