Tomoaki Imai is a founder-CTO and full-stack engineer with 11 years of experience building production-grade mobile and web products and now leading AI- and blockchain-driven hiring infrastructure from San Francisco. As co-founder and CTO of Noxx he designed LLM-based agent architectures for automated candidate screening and is driving product features around zero-knowledge proofs, self-sovereign identity, and smart-contract decentralization for remote HR workflows. His background spans Android engineering and platform modernization at Mercari through senior technical leadership roles, giving him a practical blend of client-side, backend, and CI/CD expertise. Known for introducing Kotlin, hybrid React Native strategies, and in-house testing/AB frameworks, he pairs hands-on implementation with product ownership to simplify complex workflows. An unexpected thread through his career is his early oracle/DB expertise at IBM, which informs his focus on secure, auditable data handling in privacy-sensitive HR systems.
