About
I help engineering and consulting teams apply knowledge graphs, GraphRAG, and graph data modeling to real systems, with independent judgment and careful attention to the details that reliable delivery depends on.
日本語・英語どちらでも、企業研修、案件ワークショップ、設計レビュー、移行・検証支援に対応しています。
With more than 40 years of experience in software and data systems, I help teams understand complex data structures, knowledge relationships, architecture choices, and migration risks.
My work connects knowledge graphs, Neo4j, SQL/PGQ, GQL, GraphRAG, relational data, open standards, and open-source ecosystems including LibreOffice and Apache Hop according to the needs of each project. I do not begin with a product or trend; I begin with the problem, the data, and what has proved useful in practice.
Based in Fukuoka, Japan, I work with organizations in Japan and overseas. I have spoken at open source and data conferences across Asia, North America, and Europe.
長年のソフトウェア・データシステム経験をもとに、企業研修、設計判断、移行・検証を実際の案件に即して支援しています。
Three simple principles shape how I work.
仕事をするうえで、次の3つを大切にしています。
I recommend and teach technologies that I have used myself and found genuinely valuable. Practical experience matters more than a fashionable label or a polished product story.
自分で使って良いと思ったものを広めます。流行や製品説明だけではなく、実際に使った経験を重視します。
Data definitions, relationship semantics, migration mappings, validation rules, and operational details are rarely the most visible part of a project. They are often where reliability is won or lost.
華々しいものよりも、地道な仕事の中に重要なものがあると考えています。
Good engineering requires discipline, but curiosity and experimentation are also essential. I value the enjoyment of learning, trying ideas, and building something useful with others.
規律を大切にしながら、好奇心を持って試し、学び、開発することを楽しみます。
