Profile

Before graduating from the University of Tokyo's Department of Urban Engineering in 2015, he was involved in revitalization projects in Shimokitazawa, Ekoda, Hongo, etc., where he wanted to "increase the liveliness in the community and ultimately increase the number of towns that I myself can enjoy as a user.

During the same period, he was involved in urban data and traffic data analysis for a research project at the same graduate school and a ride-sharing company, analyzing in particular the correlation between various communication media records and traffic and leisure behavior. He thought that the development of communication methods would reduce the number of activities on the real space, but found that new communications would increase the frequency and the real.

Rather, we wanted to find a winning pattern of bustling real life and realize measures to intentionally create bustling real life, and to implement cutting-edge technology locally with an eye toward a society that can get more data through autonomous driving and smart cities. As a result, he founded scheme verge, Inc. in 2018.
