02 / ABOUT

Business scale.
Builder mindset.

I connect business priorities, technology and organizational capability to turn complex transformation goals into executable programs.

At GlobalLogic Japan, I lead the Manufacturing Delivery Unit with P&L accountability, executive client engagement and delivery governance. My earlier work spans automotive Voice AI, multinational product delivery and application engineering in Japan and Thailand.

Six works, built and shipped solo from ideas shared by my family. With ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, I took each from specification through implementation, testing and release in a short time.
