Hi I'm Daigo. I'm a software and data engineer and an entrepreneur. I grew up in Japan, got a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University, and own two tech companies.

I worked in academia, a Fortune 500 company, and a Y Combinator startup before I started my entrepreneurial journey.

I engage with startup CXOs, venture capitalists, and data-driven business leaders. See the testimonials below.

I do a lot of fun things! I put together my services, products, and projects on this page. I hope you find a common interest!

I founded ANELEN to help my clients to get the most value out of data they have. I built various data systems for the companies like Meta, Panasonic, Taylor Farms, Bank OZK, and many startups. Book my time from here if you'd like to talk to me.

I built handoff.cloud, a custom data pipeline service. It helps the businesses automatically extract the data and load into the data warehouse. Customization and maintenance is offered at a fraction of the cost of hiring a data engineer. For more information, please book a discovery call.

I co-founded and built OmniCreator. It is a powerful platform to help you create and scale content with the support of an exclusive thought leader community. Members have access to the best tools and peers to grow their influence.

As a sole-business owner, I have a freedom of how I start my week. I go hiking to get my blood flowing and attain 10,000 ft view (well, not quite physically!) During my hike, I also record videos to share the wisdoms from my entrepreneurial journey. Check them out on YouTube.

Sushikkogurahi is a project with my 9 years old daughter in 2024. She designed a sushi and animal inspired characters. They are so pretty, so we turned them into vector art and started to sell T-shirts and stickers on Redbubble. Check out our store!

People Algorithm is my new ‘book development experiment’ — a series of ideas, stories, and actionable insights designed to help introverts master interpersonal skills for the corporate world and beyond. Through relatable narratives and proven principles, it aims to turn quiet thinkers into influential communicators. Here is a sample chapter. Let me know what you think!

I open-sourced many of the tools I developed for ANELEN's work. Some of them were found to be useful for many others. Here is the link to ANELEN's open source page.
