I deliver data work you can verify — not just results, but the evidence behind them. RECENT WORK A demand-forecasting PoC for an e-commerce company: 60 SKUs of intermittent demand, delivered ahead of deadline. The package included daily forecasts with prediction intervals, plus a validation report stating not only where the model wins, but exactly where it fails — backtested against the same conditions as the real task, three years running. HOW I WORK ✓ Validation first. Every claim in my reports is backtested, and I show the baselines I had to beat. If a simple method is better than a complex one, I will tell you. ✓ Documented limits. You get "what this can't do" in writing, so you can make decisions with open eyes. ✓ Small starts welcome. I'm happy to begin with a small fixed milestone so you can judge the quality before committing further. WHAT I DELIVER • Forecasting & time series — demand, sales, inventory planning • Data analysis & reporting — clean numbers with the reasoning attached • Web scraping & data enrichment — delivered as clean spreadsheets or live pipelines • Market & competitor research — teardowns, opportunity maps, due diligence THE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS BEHIND THE SPEED I run my own content and commerce businesses, and the automation is the production line, not a demo: • A 195-article content site with an automated weekly pipeline (generation → publishing → Search Console feedback loop) • Scheduled distribution systems for X/Twitter and note (Japan's largest creator platform), tuned from measured engagement data • Scraping pipelines for e-commerce sourcing, including sites that defeat headless browsers • An automated short-video production tool (TTS + programmatic assembly) These run daily, which is why I start fast and finish early. JAPAN ADVANTAGE Based in Tokyo, bilingual (native Japanese / business English). JP↔EN translation and localization, Japan market research, and on-the-ground tasks (store and competitor checks, sourcing support). If your project touches the Japanese market, I can open doors English-only freelancers can't. Tools: Python (pandas/numpy), and modern AI-assisted workflows where the client permits them — always disclosed, never a substitute for verification. Fixed-price projects welcome — you pay for the outcome, not the hours. I can overlap with US/EU hours when needed.
