Education & Work Experience
After earning a graduate degree in Information Engineering from a national university, I began my career at a local company that had commercialized my research. I later co-founded a startup with my former supervisor, and after selling the business, I moved to Belgium to continue development work with the acquiring company. Upon returning to Japan, I joined a Tokyo-based development firm, where I was appointed as the local representative of its Singapore subsidiary. While in Singapore, I founded Red Dot Drone, and upon returning to Japan, I went on to establish Red Dot Drone Japan.
Expertise
Planning and developing native applications, and setting the strategic direction of the company.
Interests
Snowboarding, driving, programming, digital music production (DTM), and VJing.
Entrepreneurial Motivation
With my background in the entertainment industry, where I worked with ground-based cameras and computer graphics, I was both inspired and challenged when drones emerged as ‘flying cameras.’ Driven by a mix of excitement and creative rivalry, I set out to harness aerial imagery through my software—laying the foundation for Red Dot Drone.
Why RDDJ Stands Out
Through Red Dot Drone, I’ve been able to experience the worlds of a drone company, an IT company, and a startup all at once—working in a multinational environment, learning from diverse perspectives, and helping my team accelerate their careers.
Closing Remarks
From an early age, I was captivated by programming—teaching myself machine language in the third grade and creating games for my friends. While I enjoyed the challenge of coding, what motivated me most was the joy on my friends’ faces as they played my creations. Looking back, I see a common thread throughout my career: using technology to bring people together and enrich their experiences, whether at live events, on stage, in the workplace, or within a team. Today, I remain dedicated to developing services and products that bring smiles to people and make a positive impact on society. I welcome all who share this vision to join me in building the future.
