Within 23 Wards, Tokyo, Japan

Successfully completed over 50 projects in SaaS, IoT, and AI. Our biggest project to date has been the continued development of an IoT cloud service for a major white goods manufacturer in Japan. The platform was designed to be insanely scalable with a serverless architecture based on AWS (Major services used: IoT Core, Firehose, Lambda, DynamoDB, Cognito, API Gateway, etc.). It is currently being used to connect 1,000 locations with plans to expand to 3,000 locations by EOY.We also have our own SaaS product, a project management platform called, SmartQA (www.sqa.jp) which is based on Google Cloud App Engine. It solves a very real pain point within Japanese companies to unify and share question and answer sheets in the cloud. It allows easy collaboration for questions and answers along with simple to use and track changes. File sharing and storage is a key feature.
