Software architecture and cloud platform consulting.
I work with startups, scale-ups, and engineering teams that need senior help with software architecture, cloud systems, or difficult platform work. Also available for teams that need staff or principal-level depth without a full-time hire.
My background spans hands-on software architecture, cloud infrastructure, and AI development across large-scale production systems. Based in Tokyo, available to clients worldwide. Open to remote contract roles.
Where I've worked
How I can help
Architecture reviews
Audit existing systems, identify delivery risks, and surface cost reduction opportunities — then define a practical path for scale and reliability.
Cloud platform development
Cloud-native systems, distributed APIs, and developer infrastructure built for scale and reliability. Includes AI-powered features where applicable.
Senior team augmentation
Embed with product and engineering teams at a staff or principal level to lead difficult platform work, unblock delivery, and raise technical standards.
Technical advisory
Support founders, engineering leaders, and platform teams with roadmap reviews, vendor decisions, and high-stakes technical choices.
Video engineering and pipeline development
Media processing pipelines, FFmpeg-based encoding workflows, ABR packaging, and video platform infrastructure — from ingest and transcoding through delivery and playback.
Selected work
Global streaming platform architecture
Led architecture across large-scale streaming systems serving millions of concurrent viewers, with a focus on resilience, cross-team execution, and operational clarity.
Olympics ad delivery system
Contributed to a patented on-demand ad delivery system (US 12,225,264 B2) used during the 2024 Paris Olympics, built to perform reliably under the pressure of a global live-event audience.
Developer tooling and platform automation
Built open source and commercial tooling for cloud workflows, platform automation, and developer infrastructure — with millions of combined library downloads and 1K+ GitHub stars across projects.
