Global Fujitsu Distinguished Engineer

Message
In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, AI and data utilization are essential across all industries. The focus of my efforts has been to bring new value and competitive advantages to our customers' businesses through the comprehensive use of data analytics and AI technologies, while I take a deep dive into the challenges they face in the field.
In this context, we are building systems with an advanced data utilization platform at the core to visualize entire business operations and predict variables and risks in real time. The systems flexibly combine a wide array of AI technologies, including generative AI and image and video processing, and time-series analysis. For example, in the manufacturing and supply chain sectors, customers gain an integral understanding of demand and the production status across multiple sites to optimize their inventory and supply. This has produced significant results, including preventing lost manufacturing revenue/sales opportunities and reducing costs.
Such an approach centered on data and AI makes it possible to seamlessly connect management to operations in the field, significantly improving the speed and accuracy of decision-making. Moving forward, I'm going to continue accelerating the resolution of industry challenges and the creation of innovative value through the integration of data utilization and advanced AI.
Achievements
I created many new business opportunities through, for example, our self-developed Dynamic Supply Chain Management (D-SCM) offering. Additionally, beyond developing applications that work together with various AI technologies such as the AI service "Fujitsu Kozuchi", "Amazon Bedrock" by AWS, and Google's "Gemini, Vertex AI Search", I have a proven track record of activities leveraging these technologies.
