Tokyo, Japan
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYuya Nakano is a Tokyo-based software engineer with 10 years of experience building large-scale search and crawling systems and applying ML to production search products. Currently at LINEヤフー / Yahoo Japan, he focuses on web crawler development, big-data pipelines, and integrating LLMs into search, while also working on in-house LLM development. His tech stack blends backend and ML tooling—Scala, Python, Spark, Hadoop, PyTorch, Transformers, and Airflow—backed by a research foundation from NAIST in dialogue systems and reading comprehension. Past roles include research stints at RIKEN and product-facing engineering at CyberAgent and Microsoft internships, giving him a mix of academic rigor and production discipline. He is particularly interested in question answering, information retrieval and reinforcement learning, and has hands-on experience turning crawler-collected text and image data into model-ready datasets. A less obvious strength is his ability to bridge R&D and engineering: shipping experimental LLM features into high-scale search environments.
