Comfortable across cloud-native stacks (GCP Dataflow/Vertex, Pub/Sub, BigQuery) and ML tooling (PyTorch, Pytorch Lightning, Databricks/Kedro), he blends hands-on model and infra work with product-minded API and search engine development. Prior consulting roles at QuantumBlack and PKSHA honed his ability to operationalize dozens of models, implement CI/CD, and communicate technical tradeoffs to stakeholders. Based in Chiyoda, Japan, he pairs academic training from the University of Tokyo with practical leadership that consistently turns ML prototypes into maintainable production services.
