About Me

Technology professional with entrepreneurial mindset

I'm a versatile technology professional with dual expertise in data science and iOS development. Having graduated with an MBA from Hitotsubashi University as a MEXT YLP Scholar, I bring together analytical thinking and creative problem-solving.

With over 10 years of experience across pharmaceuticals, tech, and energy sectors, I've learned that the best solutions come from understanding both the technical possibilities and business needs. This drives my approach to building iOS apps - from identifying real problems to designing solutions and bringing them to market.

My unique combination of data science expertise and mobile development skills allows me to create data-driven applications that truly serve users' needs.
