Data Engineer with eight years of backend experience in Java, Python, and PHP. I am proud to be the nationwide winner of the US IoT Hackathon sponsored by HP and Intel, held alongside the CES Conference. I'm also the first Japanese Women in Tech Award recipient at AT&T's Hackathon. My journey in the tech world took an exciting turn when I joined Mercari's US entity during its early stages with a team of just 50. I played a pivotal role in its journey to IPO, spearheading the hiring and inception of the data engineering team from scratch. Being well-acquainted with Japanese business customs gives me a unique edge in bridging the gap between Eastern and Western business ecosystems. On a personal note, I run a winery near Napa, indulging in winemaking.
