For the past 8 years at Rakuten Advertising, I've worked on large-scale internal platforms used by thousands of advertisers, publishers, and account teams. Since these systems are built around large datasets, detailed reporting, and multi-step workflows, they can easily become slow, confusing, or overly technical – adding friction where users need to make vital decisions.
It's my role to remove this friction.
I take tools that require expertise and redesign them so users can understand what they're seeing, find the information they need quickly, and act with confidence – without any second-guessing.
In practical terms, this includes:
If you're building products, services, or workflows for people who know exactly what they want (and won't tolerate anything that slows them down), that's the kind of project where I thrive – and what I want to work on next.

I love arriving somewhere new and diving straight in. I get genuinely excited by unfamiliar food, different ways of living, and finding the spots that locals actually go to, trying my hardest to avoid the well trodden tourist trails where I can.
Being outdoors gives me real headspace. It's where I slow down, reflect, and come back feeling balanced. Good for the mind as much as anything else. I enjoy taking note of the small things, whether it's sitting watching a squirrel or admiring how a tree has grown in an odd way.
