Okome Studio is a small software development consultancy, currently a one-man operation by Taro Sato, based in San Francisco. The studio focuses on building data-oriented systems with Python, Linux, AWS, and related technologies.
What is in the name? The interface between science and useful things is full of complexities that can be dealt with only through creative thinking. Taking lean product development as an artistic process—be it a well-designed UI frontend or a system of backend microservices—a studio-like workroom is whereskillful minds contemplate and innovation materializes. In okome(pronounced somewhat like okoumé), we see the simple-yet-essential nature of the Japanese staple, with its signature flexibility to suit a wide variety of flavors and fine dishes. These are the concepts for which we strive.
