Profile: https://flows.cv/daichiyoshikawa

I'm building a SaaS called Zipteam, which is a Dream Team Maker.
It helps you find hidden domain experts based on skills data and make dream teams for your new projects.

Also, I was formerly CTO of the AI Startup company located in Silicon Valley called Fracta,
and single-handedly implemented software modules to predict water pipe breaks in US.
Though I've been working on SaaS these years, I am an enthusiast of Robotics.

Here's my codes :
