About me
My name is Takayoshi Nishida. I’m a Japanese Software Engineer based in Osaka, Japan. I’m working as a R&D team member of a London-based MLOps startup company. I specialize in back-end development – including server-side development, API development, infrastructure and so on.
Also, I am a graduate student at Georgia Tech pursuing Master of Science (MS) in Computer Science from 2019 January. Sometimes it’s tough to study while working full-time, but it’s exciting to learn new things and gain new knowledge.
What I do
I usually code in Python, Go (Golang), Ruby, and sometimes JavaScript or PHP.
- Back-end development / Software Development
- API development
- Database design
- TDD (Test Driven Development)
- DevOps, Infrastructure
- Cloud (AWS, GCP, etc)
I’m going to explain with some more detail with actual projects as follows.
Recent Projects
Project (1) MLOps software as a service
I build a MLOps software that makes it easier for the users to integrate and deploy AI/ML models. I develop the pipeline with Apache Airflow to achieve the reliable job execution and flexible pipeline definition. Furthermore, we create the CLI tools that makes possible for the users to deploy their pipeline to the variety of cloud services such as AWS, GCP and on-prem. It is very exciting to research new solutions and discuss with team members.
Tech stack: Python, Go, Apache Airflow, Kubernetes, Docker, gRPC, AWS, GCP
Project (2) Video Converter Software (Backend)
Another project is the video converter system that generates video from various photos, music, and short videos. I improved it to be able to support more types of video, photos. Also I added a new API endpoints and new feature to support the new type of videos.
Tech stack: Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, FFmpeg, Docker, Azure
Project (3) Worldwide Real Estate Web Platform (Back-end, Infra)
This is the web platform where people can find their real estates over the borders. I joined this project from scratch so that I built all of the foundations of the back-end system and the infrastructure. It is made using Ruby on Rails and React for front-end. To interact with the frontend, we build the API and separate the implementation between backend and frontend.
Tech stack: Ruby, Ruby on Rails, React, AWS (EC2, ElasticSearch, ElasticBeanstalk, RDS etc), MySQL, Redis, NginX
