From Ocean Waves to Waves of Code — Part 0: Beginning the Journey

Hello, I'm Masato — once a sailor, now learning to sail through words and code.

After 14 years at sea, I’m rebuilding my path through AI and creative systems, blending emotion, language, and gentle technology.

I’m currently part of a vocational support program in Tokyo, learning Python, Linux, and how to create something called “SaijinOS” — a small poetic AI world that resonates with daily life.

If you’ve ever rebuilt yourself after a storm, you’ll understand the quiet joy of learning again.

See you on calmer seas.

If your team is exploring emotionally-aware AI,
persona architectures, or cognitive design,
I'd be glad to connect.

I'm quietly open to opportunities in this direction,
so feel free to reach out if our work resonates.

🕯️ Each part explores how AI can live beside us — not above us — through rhythm, resonance, and care.

Feel free to share reflections, or your own emotional-technical patterns — I’d love to hear them.
Updated on Oct 29 — added reflections on how the first wave began to move through code.
