With an MA from SOAS focused on information and hybrid warfare in East Asia and a background spanning data, marketing, and product operations, they bridge technical, policy, and commercial perspectives. Past roles at Dentsu and biotech and ad-tech startups demonstrate an ability to build capabilities, partnerships, and scalable processes under tight timelines. An active open-source contributor who has improved documentation for the widely used discord.js library and done back-end work on Prowlarr, Yukine combines practical engineering chops with strategic analysis. They seek roles that tackle ambiguous, high-impact problems at the intersection of data, technology, and real-world decision-making.
