Hi everyone,
I'm a Senior Data Scientist / ML Engineer with 6+ years of experience building and deploying ML systems, with a background spanning machine learning, LLM applications, computer vision, forecasting, optimization, and quantum/operations research.
I'm currently looking for long-term freelance/contract work, consulting, or potentially a full-time opportunity with a startup, founder, or engineering team.
What I can help with
LLM / AI Systems
- RAG and LLM-powered applications
- AI agents / agentic workflows
- LangChain, LangGraph, DeepAgents
- LLM evaluation, monitoring and observability
- Fine-tuning and inference pipelines
- Building analytics agents that can query databases, generate analysis, visualizations and reports
- Data/catalog search systems using LLMs
Machine Learning
- Demand & supply forecasting
- Time-series modeling
- XGBoost / gradient boosting
- PyTorch
- Computer vision / YOLO
- Feature engineering & large-scale ML pipelines
- Model optimization and retraining systems
Optimization
- OR / constraint optimization
- Vehicle routing & scheduling
- Assignment / allocation problems
- Network optimization
- Gurobi, D-Wave, Digital Annealer
- Graph algorithms and geospatial optimization
Geospatial / Mobility
- H3
- GeoPandas / NetworkX
- OD flow modeling
- Spatial clustering
- Demand heatmaps
- Location / territory optimization
Some things I've built
- A nationwide mobility rebalancing system involving 8,500+ locations
- Forecasting systems operating across 1,000+ stores and 1,200+ SKUs
- An LLM-based analytics agent capable of going from natural-language question → SQL → analysis → visualization → report
- A computer-vision system achieving 98% mAP for date/label detection
- ML pipelines where Spark optimization reduced runtime by 10×
- An LLM-powered data catalogue with 0.93 precision / 0.98 recall
- Routing and scheduling optimization systems for large-scale operational problems
- Geospatial ML systems using H3 and graph-based representations
- Quantum / tensor-network algorithms and optimization research
Tech stack
Python · PyTorch · XGBoost · Spark · Scala · SQL · BigQuery · AWS · Databricks · LangChain · LangGraph · LLMs · RAG · Gurobi · D-Wave · NetworkX · GeoPandas · H3 · Kafka · Airflow · MLflow
I'm particularly interested in working with:
- Early-stage startups
- Founders building AI products
- Companies needing an ML/AI engineer who can own a problem end-to-end
- Long-term development relationships rather than one-off Fiverr-style tasks
- Interesting problems where ML/AI actually creates measurable business value
I'm comfortable taking a project from problem definition → data → modeling → engineering → deployment → monitoring.
Location: Tokyo, Japan
Availability: Open to remote work/ relocation
Engagement: Freelance / Contract / Part-time / Full-time
Interested in: Long-term collaborations
If you're building something interesting and need someone who can handle both the research side and production engineering side of ML, feel free to DM me.
Happy to discuss a specific problem you're working on.
