About

Permanent resident of Canada 🇨🇦 from Japan 🇯🇵, currently spending most of my time in Malawi 🇲🇼 in Africa at the intersection of tech and society.

I am a freelance software developer, previously working at a Big Tech & Silicon Valley-based start-up company while wearing different hats such as an engineer and product manager.

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? Do you already have a tangible goal in your career or project but are unsure how to approach it? Are you seeking an accountability partner to make meaningful progress in tech, science, business, and/or philanthropy? Feel free to send me an inquiry, apply for a mentorship plan, or book a discovery call from Sessions, so we can transform your ambitious goal into a concrete action plan.

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.

When I first sought mentorship, I was motivated by a desire to improve my coding skills and build my confidence in tackling new challenges. I knew I needed guidance, and that’s when I connected with Takuya. Throughout our collaboration, Takuya helped me break down complex coding concepts into manageable steps. His approach was both patient and incredibly informative. What stood out the most was his dedication to ensuring that I fully understood each topic before moving on. He always taught with a smile on his face, making the learning environment positive and stress-free. The mentorship didn’t just boost my technical abilities; it also gave me the confidence to approach coding challenges with a new mindset. Thanks to Takuya’s guidance, I’ve made significant progress both personally and professionally, and I feel far more equipped to take on future projects.
