Medical Imaging & AI specialist building scalable deep learning and computer vision tools for healthcare and biomedical applications.
JapanWhat I'm looking for
I am an applied machine learning and computer vision professional specializing in medical imaging and AI-based software systems. I develop practical, scalable deep learning solutions for healthcare and biomedical applications, taking projects from data preprocessing and model training through validation and communication of results.
Across academic and industrial research, I build and evaluate image- and video-based models for disease detection and biological problems. My work includes automation for noisy imaging workflows and tracking, plus end-to-end development lifecycle experience in production-oriented AI.
I also bring strong software engineering strength—system architecture design and GUI development for complex AI-driven tools. I have led interdisciplinary projects with high-impact publications, collaborating closely with clinicians, researchers, and engineers.
I am currently seeking applied scientist or machine learning roles where I can contribute to impactful, production-oriented AI solutions in healthcare or related domains. I aim to turn advanced vision and deep learning methods into tools that help experts make better, more objective decisions.
