Yuta Kurotaki

About

As CTO of the SUZURI and minne Business Division at GMO Pepabo, Inc., I oversee the technical management of "SUZURI," a platform that enables easy creation and sale of original goods and items, and "minne," a marketplace for handmade works. To create engaging experiences that spark curiosity, I drive the development and expansion of new service values utilizing AI technology, such as SUZURI's remote MCP server for AI agents. I also serve as a Developer Expert (Next-Generation IoT Systems) at GMO Internet Group, Inc. and as a steering committee member (幹事) of the Japan CTO Association. As a Ph.D. candidate at Yokohama National University and a member of Pepabo Research and Development Institute, I research stretchable wearable devices combined with machine learning, and reservoir computing for edge devices.
