Summary
Hiroaki Mikami is a researcher and software engineer with 11 years’ experience focused on programming environments and developer experience, currently working at Preferred Networks in Yokohama. He combines academic rigor from a Master's in Computer Science at the University of Tokyo with industry experience optimizing deep learning workloads at Sony and building Android apps and APIs at Retty. His research includes a CHI-published selective undo algorithm and UI (master’s thesis) and re-implementations of deep learning program synthesis systems such as DeepCoder and NL2Code. Comfortable spanning systems, mobile, and ML research, he brings a practical bent for turning research prototypes into performant implementations. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of bridging human-facing UI research with low-level model and runtime optimizations.
