About

Permanent resident of Canada 🇨🇦, originally from Japan 🇯🇵, lived part-time in Malawi 🇲🇼 in Africa, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world impact.

With over a decade of experience building data-driven solutions as an engineer and product manager, I now partner with organizations on tech strategy, ethical AI implementation, and sustainable digital transformation.

My journey can be summarized as follows:

- Took multiple roles between engineering, science, and business;
- Served different scales of business at start-up, Big Tech, and as an independent;
- Worked globally (both physically and remotely) on diverse verticals such as e-commerce, gaming, online media, and supply chain.

Through the personalized mentorship program, I will turn my experiences into actionable advice so we can think, work, and grow together.

Does my background resonate with your immediate focus? Feel free to send me an inquiry, apply for a mentorship plan, or book a 30-minute call from Sessions, so we can transform your ambitious goal into a concrete action plan.

Takuya is a fantastic mentor and he helped me while I was building a recommender system. He has tremendous knowledge of technology, project management, recommender systems, software, machine learning, and what I call "uncommon" sense. I feel very fortunate to have had him as a mentor, and look forward to applying what I learned from him in the future.

I feel privileged to have been mentored by Takuya, and I must say it was an incredibly enriching and rewarding experience. Takuya possesses a remarkable ability to understand and support individuals in navigating the complex world of freelancing and career advancement in the field of development. What stood out to me the most was Takuya's proficiency in providing practical insights on how to establish and flourish in a freelancing career while balancing existing job responsibilities. His guidance was instrumental in helping me transition smoothly between different phases of my career trajectory, and I'm sure he can do the same for you. One aspect that I found particularly valuable was Takuya's adeptness in project initiation and client management. His advice enabled me to kickstart projects with confidence and effectively manage client expectations, which significantly contributed to my professional growth. I can't thank him enough for his support and guidance.
