Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMasaki Kan is a founder and CEO with 15+ years of experience turning distributed storage, databases, and real-time processing research into practical products and businesses. After a long research career at NEC Central Research Laboratories—where he led work on resource-disaggregated architectures and holds 30+ patent filings—he moved into startup leadership as CTO of a care-focused AI venture and later founded Little Wing and Diagence to deliver R&D consulting and production-grade distributed systems. He blends deep academic training (M.Eng, Tokyo Institute of Technology) with hands-on engineering of distributed TensorFlow/Kubernetes stacks, NoSQL systems, and Intel SPDK integrations. An award-winning researcher (IPSJ Yamashita Prize, IEEE BDCAT Best Paper co-author), he is as comfortable advising corporate strategy and PoCs with government partners as he is designing low-level storage optimizations. Notably, he keeps public GitHub activity minimal, signaling a preference for proprietary or client-focused work rather than open-source visibility.
