About Jacob

I’m a software engineer at an AI startup in Tokyo, and a native speaker of English and Japanese. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, I work directly with users to turn practical needs into AI systems and web products.
You can bring a university project, a personal project, or something you worked on during an internship. We can go through it in English, then practice explaining it in Japanese. I’ll ask what you built, which part you handled, and what you learned. We’ll work on the wording and try again. You leave with personalized correction notes and one next-practice target.
My background in Japan
I was born and raised in the United States and moved to Japan at 17. I passed Nagasaki University’s 帰国子女 (kikokushijo) entrance exam, studied information engineering, and graduated in 2022.
I now live in Tokyo with my Japanese wife. Studying and working here has shaped the practical support I offer to international tech professionals.
