Global Fujitsu Distinguished Engineer
Hiroaki Sakai
Message
I specialize in low-layer software areas such as operating systems and assembly. I have been involved in many activities outside the company with the idea that "information gathers around those who send information" and to "contribute to improving technology in the world in repayment for what I learned". I have developed open-source software, disseminated information through the website, exhibitions, seminars, books, magazine articles, and the like, and participated in various events and projects such as security camps.
