I’ve been passionate about AI and machine learning since my university days, where I focused on natural language processing research. After that, I developed machine learning models, mainly for image processing, at AI startups and fintech companies. I also worked as a freelancer, building AI applications across industries like fashion, HR, and architecture. I even created a specialized curation service as a personal project. I joined APTO in 2024 and now focus on developing datasets for large language models in our R&D division.

I'm a project manager overseeing AI-driven service planning and development. During graduate school, I worked with a news media company to streamline workflows using NLP libraries, develop AI systems, and improve products based on user behavior data. Later, I worked as a UX/UI designer for a video streaming service, designing user experiences and performing data-driven problem analysis. Currently, I lead projects that apply NLP and LLMs to create new products, and I also work on designing training methods and generating synthetic data to improve model accuracy.

After graduating from Rikkyo University, I worked in publishing and cybersecurity before joining APTO in 2022. Since 2024, I’ve been leading the company’s business and corporate divisions, as well as our R&D team. I'm happy to supporting companies in solving AI challenges from a data-first perspective and actively publishing research data both in Japan and internationally.
