Haokang Den is an architect and data-driven technology leader with 13 years of experience who transitioned from immunology research to building data platforms for the restaurant industry. He has led zero-to-one data infrastructure work—CDC pipelines, data lakes, DWHs, real-time analytics and CDP—while delivering practical ML products like demand and churn forecasts, image/audio recognition, and seating-optimization engines. As Toreta’s early data hire and later CTO, he combined domain-driven design, test-driven practices and cloud-native ops (GKE, Debezium, Pub/Sub, BigQuery) to eliminate technical debt and scale product engineering. He’s comfortable from VPC and Kubernetes design to BigQuery/PostGIS/Neo4j analytics and has hands-on experience improving open-source testing stacks for projects like bacon.js and CoffeeScript. Based in Chiyoda, Japan, he now focuses on hiring, reducing legacy burdens and real-time data architectures while advising on KPIs, business models and architecture decisions.
