01 / About

Lead Automation Engineer based in Tokyo, building things that work.

I specialize in test automation architecture, performance testing, DevOps, and multi-agent AI systems. My work spans from building API automation frameworks with Node.js and Superagent to designing multi-agent architectures and leading test strategy across agile teams at Drivemode.

Outside of work, I build and ship consumer products — AI-powered Japanese learning tools, mood trackers, and flashcard apps — all live and serving real users.
