Build with AI. Ship for real.

Spec-driven × AI agents × full-stack delivery. I don't just use AI to write code — I manage how AI works, and I build tools for it.

About

Japanese Literature major turned AI-Native Software Engineer (JLPT N1). I ship enterprise systems (Text-to-SQL, an SRE triage agent, a job scheduler), ML models and cloud infrastructure with a spec-driven, AI-agent workflow, and launch my own products with the same workflow in days; I write Claude Skills, built an MCP Gateway, and teach the workflow internally. In the AI era an engineer's value is judgment and process design, not typing speed.

Read the full story

Act 1: An unusual start

Japanese Literature degree, JLPT N1. My career began with language; a six-month AI/cloud bootcamp moved me into engineering. I built AI applications at a startup (content-to-video, LINE avatars and voice cloning) and now work as a Senior Systems Analyst at a retail group's IT subsidiary, spanning data engineering, DevOps and cloud architecture.

Act 2: AI changed how I work

Over the past year I moved my workflow to spec-driven development with AI agents: brainstorm → design spec → implementation plan → TDD, where AI executes and I review and decide. Real projects grew it into my own version — design phases produce only documents, and subagents implement only after decisions are final; a self-made dispatch skill routes each task to the cheapest model that is good enough; one shared AGENTS.md drives two agents; an automated AI code-review loop. With it I independently delivered an enterprise allocation platform (2.5 months), a CDP's AI service and job scheduler (88 commits and 1,190 unit tests in one day), took Text-to-SQL from PoC to a production service, and built a company MCP Gateway in 3 days. After hours, same workflow: a ramen map live on day one, a Japanese typing trainer with 470 tests in 3 working days. Every number is in the git history.

Act 3: From user to builder

I don't just use AI tools — I package team domain knowledge as Claude Skills with evals, built the gateway that lets every AI tool in the company reach internal APIs safely, wrote a Claude Code mod that shows context usage and cost in real time, and draw boundaries for AI agents: proposal-only changes gated by automated tests, zero shell and zero cloud permissions, never writing to third-party platforms on a user's behalf. I also learned to reject upgrades with data: a 65-case eval showed the bottleneck was the rules, not the model, so I built human-precedent override instead and triage accuracy went from 12% to 80%. Next: build something that actually matters.

How I work

01

Ship products with AI

  • Enterprise retail allocation platform, delivered solo in 2.5 months; a CDP job scheduler with 1,190 unit tests
  • menmap ramen map live on day one; pachipachi Japanese typing trainer with 470 tests in 3 working days
  • Career Agent, an AI job-search assistant, live in 3 days with real users
02

Manage how AI works

  • Spec-driven: brainstorm → spec → plan → TDD; design phases produce documents only, subagents implement after decisions are final
  • A dispatch skill that tiers work: haiku to find, sonnet for well-specified tasks, opus for concurrency and cross-file changes; 7 worktree agents in parallel, merged the same day
  • One shared AGENTS.md driving Claude Code and Copilot CLI; an automated AI code-review loop until it converges
03

Build tools for AI

  • Self-built MCP Gateway wrapping internal APIs as MCP tools, with both input and output audited
  • Domain knowledge packaged as Claude Skills with evals; a Claude Code mod showing context usage and cost live
  • Boundaries for AI agents: proposal-only changes gated by tests, zero shell and zero cloud permissions, never writing to third-party platforms for a user

Featured projects

Text-to-SQL

Natural-language queries over 920M transaction rows: understand → code-side guards → option-based clarification → generate SQL → validation and an EXPLAIN gate → code computes statistics, the LLM only interprets

  • FastAPI
  • sqlglot
  • Azure Synapse
  • Claude
  • Azure OpenAI
  • DuckDB
  • 10/10gold SQL
  • 23/23behavior tests
  • 0fabricated insights
  • 650s → 338sdata profiling

From PoC to a production service: sqlglot dialect packs for both T-SQL and PostgreSQL, a semantic model where every fact carries confidence and evidence, 10 ADRs. Guard rule: any condition that cannot become SQL is asked back, never silently dropped. Once other systems asked to onboard, the positioning became "the execution engine plus a 13-step onboarding process is the product".

menmap (麵咩撲)

Taipei ramen map: daily Google Maps harvesting → open-now / metro / style filters → a "where today" dice → ramen diary and friends

  • Python
  • React
  • MapLibre
  • Hono
  • Cloudflare D1
  • Claude
  • Day 1live
  • 130commits / 15 days
  • 500+ramen shops
  • $0per month

Fourteen minutes from pricing Google Places API to dropping it: the scraper runs at home and the cloud only reads. Tests showed datacenter IPs get degraded, stripped-down pages, so the collector stays home. LLM classification of 491 shops cost US$2.5. Worker-rendered SEO pages, self-written Google OAuth, $0 a month.

pachipachi (ぱちぱち)

Japanese typing trainer: romaji input judged key by key into kana, from kana charts to N1 vocabulary, timed leaderboards, and your own lyrics synced to YouTube

  • SvelteKit
  • Svelte 5
  • TypeScript
  • Cloudflare D1
  • kuromoji
  • 3working days
  • 470tests
  • 26Klines
  • 7parallel agents

Seven worktree subagents built it in parallel and merged the same day. The server recomputes every score from the client's key log and applies six anticheat rules — it never trusts client numbers. Lyrics copyright was researched (JASRAC, Taiwan copyright law) before design: shared timelines store only hashes, notice-and-takedown, three strikes.

Loka Note (落腳筆記)

Housing decision tool: enter an address → commute times (bus/metro + scooter/car road graph) → rent and sale price benchmarks → mortgage and monthly cost → hazards, crime, amenities → favorites and comparison

  • React 19
  • TanStack
  • Hono
  • Cloudflare D1
  • Drizzle
  • OpenStreetMap
  • 10dev days
  • 138commits
  • 23Klines of TS

The first plan was to scrape listing sites. After reviewing fair-trade rulings I judged the legal risk too high: users bring their own listings and the product sells only the analysis layer built on commercially usable open data. Commute times run my own Dijkstra on the OSM road graph; Zod schemas are shared across client and server, and Vitest runs in both workerd and Node.

MCP Gateway

Wraps internal enterprise APIs as MCP tools so any AI coding agent reaches them safely through one entry point

  • Python
  • MCP SDK
  • Starlette
  • SQLAlchemy
  • pytest
  • 3 daysto v1
  • 20+test files
  • 8AI clients

Design focus: per-client auth, SSRF protection, encrypted upstream credentials, audit logs with sensitive-parameter masking — both input and output are recorded. Tool catalog lives in a DB; approved tools go live without code changes or restarts. One admin page generates connection configs for eight AI clients.

Enterprise delivery

Retail allocation platform, CDP batch evolution and job scheduler, performance root-causing, demand-forecasting ML, Azure IaC

  • FastAPI
  • React 19
  • .NET
  • Azure Synapse
  • Azure Data Factory
  • Bicep
  • LightGBM
  • 2.5 moallocation platform
  • 559s → 0.4sroot-caused
  • 1,190scheduler unit tests
  • 1,100+files

Delivered solo with AI collaboration at a retail group's IT subsidiary: a 2.5-month allocation platform (FastAPI + React 19); ADF polling replaced by a queue, then by a single-table scheduler, with the production cutover led by me; three measurement-first performance root-causes with zero builder changes; LightGBM/CatBoost allocation models; Bicep IaC reconciled with portal drift.
