I’m a transportation planner specialized in transit and rail operations. I’m dedicated to helping both public and private clients improve transportation performance, efficiency, and effectiveness.

Before joining CPCS, I worked for a transportation consulting firm and a commuter rail agency in California, where I produced comprehensive railway operations plans, timetables, and operations analyses. I delivered insightful analyses and solutions, leveraging my expertise in railway operations and operations simulation modeling, as well as my deep understanding of railway operations practices in Japan.

Passionate about enhancing the quality of life through transportation, I aim to develop and improve transit and rail services for greater convenience, reliability, and efficiency.
