👋 Hi, I'm Takuya

Takuya Kitazawa is a freelance software developer, minimalistic traveler, ultralight hiker & runner, and craft beer enthusiast. With a decade of experiences as a full-stack software developer, machine learning engineer, data scientist, and product manager, I am currently working at the intersection of technological and societal aspects of data-driven applications. You can find what I am doing lately at my "now" page, and your inquiry is always welcome at [email protected], including comments on my blog posts.

I'm passionate about bridging a gap between scientific theory and real-world practice in industry. The previous contribution includes but is not limited to developing OSS for scalable ML, building out-of-the-box ML application, writing academic papers, presenting at tech conferences, and working on customer-facing opportunities in a variety of industries such as online media, gaming, retail and supply chain.
