About Me

Ichiro Yazawa has worked in product development for music production and connectivity technology development such as USB, IEEE1394, Ethernet Audio, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and MIDI 2.0. Through supporting development of Audio, MIDI, the USB layer, and standard drivers for major operating systems, I have had many friends all over the world who are full of irreplaceable ideas and skills.

In recent years, I have been responsible for a wide range of research and development including AI, Web3, IoT, and Cyber Security. I have been meeting friends with more diverse talents and following paths to new possibilities.

Personally, I enjoy listening to ambient music and playing keyboard on weekends.
