The Stage
A decade in front of audiences — three languages, global stages, luxury brands. Learning that a launch is only as good as the operation behind it.
The Turn
Two proofs that the stage taught me to build — one behind a counter, one in a courtroom.
The restaurant. For four years I owned and ran a fried-chicken shop with my family, and turned it around to 2.5× monthly revenue. That kitchen became the seed of KitchenFlow — and the reason I trust software only after it survives a dinner rush.
I took Hertz to small-claims court on my own, in a second language — and won.— Judgment for the plaintiff. The experience became the reason Lawnavi exists.
A foreigner facing a corporation shouldn't have to be their own lawyer. That gap is exactly what I set out to close.
The Stack
End-to-end engineer, high-end solopreneur — I design, build, ship and run the whole thing.
A living-law platform for foreigners in Japan — retrieval-augmented legal guidance built on a self-hosted LLM stack.
Ordering, inventory and back-office for restaurants — born from running one myself.
Membership & loyalty, ERP, InsurTech and LMS platforms — legacy modernization to serverless.
