Summary
Masanori Kaneko is a Lead Software Quality Assurance Engineer with 15+ years across embedded, medical, automotive and SaaS domains, now focusing on quality for ML-powered enterprise SaaS. Rooted in a start as an embedded developer, he blends hands-on coding (Python, Go) with system-level QA practices to detect and prevent defects across the lifecycle using a whole-team agile approach. He has driven engineering productivity improvements—introducing static analysis, test analysis methods published at SQiP, CI/CD and developer experience initiatives—while coaching and hiring QA talent. At PKSHA he tackles non-deterministic behaviors from LLMs in production, pairing automation (Playwright, Autify) and monitoring (Datadog, Elasticsearch, Azure) with root-cause prevention. Comfortable bridging research and practice from his Hitachi and Clarion tenures, he often translates developer telemetry and measurement into actionable process change.
