As a researcher at IBM Research-Tokyo, I am engaged in cloud infrastructure, sustainability, AI, cloud security, computer language, and operating system research. Although my primary interests include reliability, security, performance, and Unix operating systems topics, I enjoy investigating new fields since the knowledge and experience from one area typically improve contributions in other areas. Recently I have been working on the SusQL project to gather usable energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission data for tagged resources (such as AI model training) on Kubernetes clusters (such as OpenShift).

While attending school, I worked as programmer enhancing the Corvus Operating System and implementing medical simulations. At IBM-Austin, in addition to leadership roles such as team lead and AIX Development Process ownership, I was responsible for development activities (function design, standards implementation, internationalization, performance, security, etc.) for a variety of AIX components. While at IBM Japan Systems Engineering Co. Ltd, I provided in-depth Unix technical consultation services for IBM engineers and customers throughout Asia, and also had the opportunity to serve as the ISE pSeries group leader.
