I turn complex stakeholder priorities and ambiguity into clear requirements and measurable business outcomes.
JapanWhat I'm looking for
I've led requirements and analysis for TableCheck's core configuration product, supporting operations across 10,000+ clients. Working across Japanese operations and international development teams, I reconciled regional priorities to lead a zero-churn legacy migration and reformed releases to reduce deployment time by 98% without impacting customer experience.
Through HakaTech, I deliver requirements analysis, process mapping, and stakeholder facilitation for cross-cultural product organizations. I've designed delivery and KPI frameworks for Japanese clients and offshore development partners, and built an LLM-based requirements and contract evaluation tool that achieved roughly 10x manual-review throughput.
I also co-founded Groupe Audiobarn, scaling a platform to 42,000+ musicians, and delivered end-to-end web and product solutions through Pinecone Web Agency, including a reservations system that increased annual revenue by approximately 2.5x.
