About Me
I am a Data Science Manager and Digital Solution Unit Lead at Ocean Network Express (ONE), based at its global headquarters in Singapore. I specialize in end-to-end engineering for supply chain operations, combining applied machine learning, cloud development, and deep understanding of how global container logistics works.
My work is close to a forward-deployed engineering model. I work directly with planning and operations teams to understand what decisions they need to make, translate messy operational processes into technical requirements, and build solutions that people can actually use. That includes data engineering, modeling, Python development, cloud deployment, validation, and ongoing iteration.
I have hands-on experience across Google Cloud (GCP) and AWS-based environments, with especially deep delivery experience using BigQuery, Cloud Run, containerized Python services, and automated data workflows. I also lead and mentor six data scientists, while remaining involved in architecture, code, and production delivery.
I hold a Ph.D. from Kyoto University and an M.Sc. from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. My scientific computing background complements practical software development and system-level thinking.
Areas of Work
- End-to-end cloud engineering: Take internal tools from user discovery and data integration through Python/SQL implementation, API and pipeline design, deployment, testing, and operational support.
- Supply chain forecasting: Build recurring forecasts for container movements, returns, and demand, with a focus on decision-ready outputs for global shipping operations.
- Lower operating costs: Develop optimization, scenario evaluation, and cost modeling for equipment repositioning and transportation planning.
- Technical ownership: Lead architectural and analytical decisions, mentor engineers and data scientists, and work with product, operations, and IT across regions.

Background
- May 2025 to present: Data Science Manager / Digital Solution Unit Lead, ONE, Singapore.
- December 2022 to May 2025: Applied Data Scientist, ONE, Tokyo.
- March 2022: Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Kyoto University.
- 2018: M.Sc. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, HKUST.
I am particularly interested in Forward Deployed Engineer, Applied Scientist, and technical leadership roles that combine hands-on cloud engineering with supply chain and industrial domain knowledge.
