03 About

I build the payment platform behind Mercari's marketplace as an Engineering Manager at Merpay, leading two payment-core teams while still shipping code. On the side I run engineering at Yomoyama (real-estate price estimation) and RINGBELL (a marriage agency service). Trained in image processing (MSc, Tokyo University of Science); off the clock I photograph Tokyo and follow a corgi around it.
