What I'm looking for

I seek roles that let me build and deploy AI-driven products, work cross-culturally, and scale impactful technical solutions with strong collaboration and growth opportunities.

I am an AI and software engineer with a strong background in back-end development, applied AI, and multilingual model refinement. I combine technical fluency across Python, C/C++, JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frameworks with practical product delivery experience.

As founder of Zoltraak LLC, I have led consulting and executive training engagements in AI and data science, secured significant contracts and grant-funded collaborations, and built AI-driven services for fashion marketing and freelance platforms. I also provide professional academic English–Japanese translation for technical documents.

My hands-on engineering work includes leading backend development for SmartCity projects, building mobile and web apps (React, Flask, Flutter), and contributing to LLM RLHF initiatives for major AI training projects. I adapt models using Japanese, English, and Thai to improve cultural and linguistic alignment.

I volunteer and lead community initiatives—co-founding clubs and Teachers Without Borders—and I bring a results-oriented, collaborative approach to product development, research translation, and cross-cultural technical programs.
