I have over 20 years of experience in building, managing, and delivering high-impact software products that drive meaningful value for organizations. Throughout my career, I have led the development of innovative solutions that enhance operational efficiency, improve user experiences, and contribute to overall business success. My expertise spans multiple industries, including eCommerce, where I have worked on scalable platforms that optimize online shopping experiences, streamline payment processes, and enhance customer engagement. In the healthcare sector, I have contributed to the development of cutting-edge software solutions that improve patient care, enhance data security, and support regulatory compliance. My deep understanding of software development, product strategy, and cross-functional team leadership enables me to create solutions that align with business goals and industry best practices. I hold a Master's Degree in Computer Science from Waseda University, Japan.
Being the CEO of a startup company is both thrilling and intense, requiring me to wear multiple hats every day. Unlike leaders of larger corporations who can delegate extensively, I'm deeply involved in everything—from product development and customer support to marketing and fundraising. Resources are often limited, so every decision feels critical, and there's little room for error.
One of the biggest challenges is balancing innovation with financial constraints, ensuring that we can build something impactful while staying within budget. At the same time, leading a small, tight-knit team is incredibly rewarding; I get to work closely with talented individuals who share the same passion and vision, fostering a culture of collaboration and creativity.
In my free time, I'm passionate about playing pickleball—whether it's a friendly match with friends or a competitive game, I love the fast-paced action and strategy that comes with it. It's a great way to stay active, challenge myself, and have fun. Beyond that, I have a deep appreciation for food and enjoy exploring new restaurants, discovering hidden gems, and trying a variety of dishes from different cuisines. I love experiencing unique flavors, learning about different culinary traditions, and sharing great meals with family and friends.
