AI | Data Scientist @ Rakuten | LLM Observability & Security

About

I'm a Data Scientist at Rakuten, working at the intersection of LLM Observability, AI Security, and real-world reliability. My focus is on making large language models more trustworthy and production-ready — through evaluation frameworks, monitoring pipelines, and security-first architectures that ensure safe AI deployments at scale. I believe that as AI becomes more integrated into critical sectors, reliability will define real innovation. I'm particularly passionate about advancing AI in Healthcare, where precision, security, and ethical responsibility are non-negotiable. Technically, my work spans model drift detection, risk evaluation, bias monitoring, and safeguarding LLM behavior over time — but beyond the tools, what drives me is building systems that are resilient, transparent, and aligned with human impact. Looking ahead, I’m committed to shaping the future of AI systems that don't just function — they earn trust, solve meaningful problems, and make a measurable difference in lives, industries, and society.
