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.
