Summary
Kazuhiro Funakoshi is a senior engineer based in California with seven years of professional experience bridging research and industry, currently exploring cybersecurity through Google training while leading engineering work at American Furukawa. He brings a rare combination of academic depth—doctoral work in informatics from The University of Tokyo—and practical systems experience across embedded SoC, Hadoop MapReduce, ML text processing, and web backends (Play/Finagle). An active open-source author, he created Qu4s, a Scala library that generates OpenQASM and aims to integrate a novel quantum circuit simulator directly into Java/Scala web apps. Comfortable in Scala (his preferred language) and learning Rust, he also has hands-on exposure to Java, Python, formal verification (SPIN/Promela, Coq), and cloud applications from his NEC and National Institute of Informatics roles. His profile reflects a blend of low-level systems know-how, formal-methods rigor, and an experimental drive to bring quantum tooling into conventional web stacks.
