Cicero Aware is the trade name for the independent software engineering and consultancy activities of @yukawa (Yohei Yukawa).
This organization primarily serves as a workspace for open-source contributions, focusing on text input technologies, internationalization (i18n), and low-level systems programming. While Cicero Aware operates as a sole proprietorship based in Kyoto, Japan, its core mission in this organization is to sustain and improve critical open-source infrastructure.
The activities under this organization are centered around maintaining and advancing technologies that I have been involved with throughout my career, including my tenure at Google.
- Chromium: Continuing code ownership and review for
ui/base/ime/win/to ensure robust text input support on Windows. - Mozc: Contributing to the development and maintenance of the open-source Japanese input method.
- Upstream Contributions: improving build systems and dependencies required for Mozc and related projects, including:
- Sharing knowledge on Windows IME Framework internals and open-source Japanese input technologies through technical articles and conference talks.
- Facilitating collaboration among IME developers globally.
Yohei Yukawa is a software engineer specializing in input methods and Windows platform development.
