About Me
I work as a Software Engineer at Sakana AI. I'm passionate about solving real problems with technology and delivering value to society. Previously, I worked as a Cloud Solution Architect (CSA) at Microsoft Japan, helping customers solve their challenges using Azure.
During my student years, I was a member of the Digital Nature Group led by Assoc. Prof. Yoichi Ochiai at the University of Tsukuba, where I was involved in developing "See-Through Captions," a transparent caption display system for deaf and hard-of-hearing people. This research won numerous awards including the James Dyson Award 2021 Japan National Winner and Good Design Award 2021.
