I build data-driven products and grow engineering teams from MVPs through scalable SaaS delivery.
What I'm looking for
I've led product and engineering work across startups and large companies in Japan, from MVPs to customer and enterprise SaaS. I currently help acquaintances build stealth-mode MVPs and explore AI use cases, including four working products built in two months.
At Commune, I supervised more than half of the engineering organization and managed three teams of up to 18 people. I introduced technical planning that reduced estimation errors by 80%, built a cross-functional product-analysis solution, and developed team leaders and managers.
I co-founded Tabiko and ran it as CTO until its 2020 acquisition by airtrip.jp. I owned its traveler concierge app, which earned five-star reviews from more than 95% of users and was featured three times by Apple, while improving rewards conversion from 2% to 13% through data-driven product work.
