Profile
Taishi and Marie co-founded Beyooond Creative Agency in Vancouver after building local engineering careers with Frog support. Background flags are unknown in attributes; the interview itself differentiates their Japan experience clearly.
Current role
Co-founders of a creative/dev agency focused mainly on Japanese clients needing websites and service development, leveraging English-language/North American resources, culture, and delivery practices. They also aim to offer project collaboration and references for engineers arriving from Japan.
Japan experience
Taishi: prior backend engineer at Yahoo! Japan before Canada (exact Japan tenure years not stated). Marie: no professional engineering experience in Japan (career starter in Canada). Attributes mark background as unknown; use the interview’s stated split rather than inventing shared tenure.
Path to Canada / North America
Both used Frog to move from Japan. Taishi later worked as a full-stack engineer at agritech firm Semios (separate Frog interview exists). Marie completed a local vocational school, started junior, and within under a year reached intermediate frontend engineer at Operto Guest Technologies (hospitality tech / IoT OS). Both briefly worked part-time at COS (Frog partner); local references helped full-time offers. Frog also supported their company formation.
Outcome
Launched Beyooond to serve primarily Japan-origin production work while remaining North America–based, and to help subsequent overseas job seekers with real project references and mentoring.
