こんにちは、Timothyです。
This is my second post — and it’s about the first project I picked up after joining a startup in Tokyo.
I’m not sure what comes to mind when you think of “startups in Japan.”
Something international? Scrappy and fast-moving? Or maybe more traditional, just with hoodies?
In my case, it was somewhere in between.
While exploring Web3 use cases for the team, I stumbled on something in a product backlog:
Telegram Mini App — let’s try one.
No docs. No handover. But I’d built Telegram bots before — back when that was all there was.
So I picked it up, asked for a deadline, and got full freedom to run.
That’s just the beginning.
The full write-up is now live — with all the messy, fun details of building and shipping something real in Tokyo:
🧩 If you’re into Telegram bots, fast-moving projects, or curious about what engineering looks like inside a Tokyo startup — take a look.
And if you’re someone who works with developers — PM, founder, hiring
I think you’ll get a sense of how I work just by reading it.
Let’s stay connected.
