Kalanyu Z is a Staff Data Scientist with a Ph.D. in computational neuroscience and 11 years of experience applying big-data analytics, machine learning, and human–computer interaction to real-world products. Based in Tokyo, he has driven data engineering and modeling at startups and major projects—from building real-time, terabyte-scale pipelines and predictive models at a connected-vehicle startup to developing infrastructure and dashboards that cut batch computation from days to minutes. He pairs research-grade expertise in psychophysics and sensor signal classification with hands-on engineering skills in GCP, Terraform, Web3, and Solidity, enabling both production ML systems and novel HCI prototypes. His consulting work spans gesture-recognition APIs for rehabilitation, wearable-sensor interfaces for consumer devices, and automated DeFi workflows, showing a knack for translating academic methods into practical products. Comfortable reporting to C-level stakeholders, he combines product-focused metrics work with reproducible infrastructure-as-code practices. A multilingual developer and former translator, he brings uncommon cross-cultural communication skills to international engineering teams.
