Taka's experience started primarily with 13 years of Embedded/Firmware and RTOS development while learning Web and Mobile development on the side, before settling into a more customer-facing pre-sales role. He has always been passionate about utilizing technology for process optimization and cost reduction, which made a great fit within OutSystems as a Solutions Architect. He just recently moved back to the US from Japan after helping build up an OutSystems team in Tokyo and supporting Japanese customers and partners over the last 2.5 years. Outside of work, Taka enjoys playing soccer, snowboarding, and running races.
