Summary
Maxime Moreillon is a Principal Software Engineer based in Nagoya with nine years of experience transforming legacy processes into cloud-native, developer-first platforms at JTEKT (Toyota Group). He led the introduction of Git, Kubernetes, CI/CD and databases company-wide, built and operates a self-hosted GitLab for 400+ users, and founded the trademarked "Software Karakuri" initiative to standardize reusable microservice architecture. Maxime has developed ~100 microservices, a no-code AI platform showcased at the Tokyo Motor Show, and created a Self-Service Suite that has provisioned 150+ databases and automated CI/CD for zero-friction deployments. Trained as a mechanical engineer at EPFL, he intentionally migrated into software to iterate ideas faster and now bridges cloud infrastructure, full-stack web, ML pipelines and embedded systems. He prefers early-phase, high-uncertainty work—prototyping foundations that scale—and has grown JTEKT’s open-source presence to 50+ public repositories.
