Experience
Senior Software Engineer · Project LeadNov 2022 — Present
Cloco Inc. Tokyo, Japan · Hybrid
  • Drove team-wide AI-augmented development — integrated Claude and Cursor into the daily workflow and codified a shared code skeleton and conventions, so velocity grows without compromising review rigor or post-incident traceability.
  • Coordinated a 20-person team (engineers + QA) on a multi-tenant client SaaS — Restaurant Management System — owning sprint cadence, release planning, feature scope, and the cross-partner integrations that make the ecosystem work.
  • Built an internal AI document translator (Claude API) that turns Japanese xlsx / docx / drawio files into English while preserving formulas, styles, and shape layouts — cache + tiered model routing keep cost bounded under heavy use.
Full Stack EngineerSep 2020 — Oct 2022
SPINSHELL INC. Tokyo, Japan
  • Led the rebuild of an in-house live commerce & consultation platform (WebRTC + Twilio) from MVP to production-grade as COVID drove demand sharply across banking, telemedicine, and apparel retail.
  • Designed a version-retention deploy strategy that lets releases ship without dropping in-flight video calls — sustained near-100% availability across multi-sector clients over a 2-year run.
  • Built observability tuned for live-call triage; integrated Stripe/PayPal payment flows and Twilio/WebRTC video infrastructure, powering 10k+ monthly transactions across the product.
Dispatch Web EngineerSep 2019 — Sep 2020
PERSOL Technology Staff Co., Ltd. Tokyo, Japan
  • Dispatched to Rakuten's e-commerce team on a short engagement — built Python pipelines that mined trending Twitter terms and surfaced them as market signals.
  • Output fed product and SEO decisions: which categories were heating up, which keywords to target, which themes the site should lean into.
Junior Software Developer2017 — 2019
GBD · E-multitech Nepal
  • Two years on an e-commerce product as a junior engineer — shipped bug fixes and feature work under the team lead's direction, learning the day-to-day rhythm of keeping a live product moving.
