Senior🎓
Top SchoolTakuro Niitsuma is a research and development engineer based in Tokyo with 10 years of software development experience and a current focus on NLP and information retrieval while pursuing a master's at Nara Institute of Science and Technology. He blends practical web engineering—years building and leading teams on products like Mach Baito—with applied research at The Asahi Shimbun’s Media R&D Center on machine learning and data journalism. Comfortable shifting between hands-on freelance work and institutional research, he has navigated roles from system engineering to team leadership and back to R&D. His background in economics and industry experience gives him a pragmatic view of deploying language technologies in real-world media products. Colleagues describe him as curious and experimental—his GitHub motto いろいろやってこうな (let’s try various things) reflects a habit of exploring diverse technical approaches. He is especially skilled at turning NLP/IR research ideas into production-ready web services.
