Our Mission
Our mission is to maximize the value of providing the best IT problem-solving services to our clients, while ensuring that our employees lead fulfilling lives in both mind and body.
This mission may seem simple at first glance, but it is a challenge that many software development companies struggle to overcome. We hear more stories of frustration than success from those who invest in app development, and many developers suffer from chronic stress, mental health issues, or have experienced depression.
In terms of client services, we strive to deliver the best software by continuously improving the functionality, reliability, maintainability, and security standards of the applications we provide, while staying within budget constraints.
For our developers, we encourage them to continuously improve their skills and knowledge, while promoting healthy enjoyment of leisure time, providing our employees with a sustainable work-life balance.
We provide the best service without sacrificing anyone involved with the company, whether clients or employees.

Our Values
Shinjiro Tomiyoshi
At 18, Shinjiro began his pursuit of truth, realizing his understanding of many aspects of the world was unclear, particularly when he struggled to answer questions about the important decisions he made regarding his academic path. At the same age, he moved from Japan to Los Angeles and was both struck and amazed by the diversity of people, each with distinct mindsets, cultures, and norms many of which were very different from those in Japan.
Since then, he has continuously questioned his own answers to deepen his understanding of any given subject. His favorite areas of inquiry are cultural norms, assumptions, and biases. He later discovered that this approach is known as the Socratic Method, a technique attributed to the father of Western philosophy, which underpins modern governance, law, science, and education.
This rigorous mindset has empowered him to address not only cultural matters but also business and technical challenges that others could not. He has proven his ability to lead development teams through complex obstacles, including the successful management of a large-scale refactoring project that had previously failed under another team. Furthermore, by identifying and resolving critical architectural issues, Shinjiro reduced development and maintenance costs by 70%, demonstrating his commitment to delivering efficient, high-quality solutions.
He is eager to make Aquarete a team of passionate professionals who solve problems using technology and innovation.
