Director at NTT
Japan
Summary
🤩
RockstarKazutaka Morita is a technology leader with 16 years of experience in research and engineering at NTT, now serving as Director after leading teams as a Manager and Research Engineer. He combines deep systems and distributed-storage expertise—contributing to OpenStack Swift fixes around replication, ring building, and proxy streaming—with applied machine-learning compiler work on TVM and nnvm Keras frontends. Comfortable moving between production-grade back-end engineering and ML compiler internals, he has a track record of resolving subtle bugs and adding test coverage for real-world models like MobileNet. Based in Japan, he brings an uncommon blend of enterprise leadership and hands-on open-source contributions that improve both scalability and model portability.
