Wataru Kawakami

• I am a candidate for M.D. at Kyoto University and working as a student researcher for the Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University. I am researching Neuroinformatics. We aim to extract mental contents from the brain by inferring from fMRI(functional magnetic resonance imaging) data with DNN. Mainly, I am developing methods to reconstruct 3D models from brain activity.
• I have experience developing a maze game for the experiment and rendering reconstructed objects using bpy(blender python).

I am working for an education company as a student product manager. I suggested the senior manager to create a gamified task management App for students and currently running the project.

I am in charge of the production of CBT tests for the recruitment of student part-time software engineers. The test consists of Github, which stores problems and submitted files and automatically conduct brief checks of the files by Github Actions, and Lambda, which automatically conducts scoring the submitted files and post the results to DB and slack. Also, I am working as the product manager of study App with gamification for junior high school students, which is currently under designing of the architecture.

I am running a team of 1000 part-timers which is responsible for scoring dozens of thousands of high school students. I created the I substantially improved the leader team from scratch and arranged the team to automatically operates. Also, I substantially improved the quality of the scoring by implementing assessment system of the scorers and assigning the tasks to scorers who were highly rated.

Contributed to OSS for microscopy cell tracking GNN.

・Implemented preprocessing of microscopy videos into a graph.

・Refactored inference module of previously released GNN pipeline to be easily used by end-users.

・Currently working to develop a new GNN structure to capture cell features.
