Hiroki Nishino is a Tech Lead with 11 years of experience building production-grade AI and large-scale engineering systems, currently leading the Legal Brain Agent at Bengo4.com, a legal-specialized AI launched in 2025. He designed the agent’s LLM + RAG architecture over a proprietary, patent-pending LegalGraph knowledge graph and pioneered citation-grounded generation to minimize hallucinations for regulated professional use. His background blends applied LLM engineering, application security (co-discovered CVE-2022-22978), and product delivery from roles at LINE and earlier startups. Certified in CISSP, PMP and IPA Advanced, he pairs technical depth with cross-functional collaboration alongside qualified lawyers to translate legal expertise into robust search, prompting, and evaluation pipelines. An active contributor to open-source—having extended LINE’s Java Messaging SDK—he combines research publications and patents with practical operational experience in AI systems.
