Consulting
AI development and operations consulting
This is the part of my work you can hire. AI for aviation and logistics, inspection and computer vision, IoT, and small and mid-sized companies, with the airline operations discipline that runs through everything else on this site.
How I work
- Evidence first. Every engagement starts with a proof of concept on your real data, in about two weeks, before anyone commits to a build.
- Honest technical advice. If AI is not the answer, or a product you can buy is, I say so in the first conversation.
- Built for teams without an AI department. Documentation, procedures and training are part of the deliverable, so the system survives my leaving.
- English or Japanese, remote or Tokyo. Japan Standard Time, with mornings and evenings for other time zones.

Frequently asked questions
Who is this for? Do we need to be a large company?
Mainly small and mid-sized companies. You do not need an AI or IT department; the two-week proof of concept exists precisely so a team without one can find out whether its work can be automated before spending on a build.
We do not yet know what AI could do for us. Can we still talk?
That is the most useful stage to talk. In the free 30-minute consultation I hear how work flows today and separate the steps AI can take over from the ones where it will not pay back. There is no proposal that assumes a purchase.
Which areas do you cover?
Aviation and logistics operations (operations control, route optimization, operational data), inspection and computer vision (facade and equipment defects, infrastructure), IoT (sensor data, dashboards, alerts) and operational efficiency for SMEs (generative AI, RPA, rostering).
What does it cost?
It depends on the scope and on integration with existing systems. The recommended path is one workflow improvement first (from ¥50,000), then the whole-operation architecture once the effect is visible. The pricing guide above gives the ranges.
