ENGINEER TURNED INVESTOR

Investing as an Engineering Problem.

“Markets move through regimes. I read the transmission across currencies, rates, equities, and real assets — then size positions with the discipline of a distributed system: fault-tolerant by design, decisive in execution.”

My Philosophy

Two parallel disciplines have run alongside each other: a decade of building fault-tolerant verification infrastructure as an engineer, and managing my own capital across US, Japan, and Taiwan markets since 2010. Both train the same instinct — design the system to survive being wrong, then optimize for the cases where you are right. The investing track has converged into my main focus.

My philosophy is simple: Fault Tolerance.

In engineering, you assume components will fail, so you build redundancy. In investing, I assume I will be wrong, so I build portfolios that can survive mistakes while capturing asymmetric upside.

I am currently building a cross-border investment setup connecting the US, Taiwan, and Japan.

Global Macro Cross-Asset Transmission Fault-Tolerant Discipline

Professional Journey

Founder & CIO

Oct 2025 – Present
Miyama Capital · San Francisco Bay Area
  • Read macro regimes and trace cross-asset transmission across currencies, rates, equities, and real assets to build asymmetric, conviction-sized positions.
  • Engineer portfolio survival under regime shifts and tail events through fault-tolerant portfolio frameworks, liquidity discipline, and decisive risk reduction.
  • Apply systems engineering discipline to research workflow — adversarial review, scenario stress-testing, and structured decision logs replacing intuition with process.
  • Operate research presence across US, Japan, and Taiwan — a structural choice for regime diversification, not a geographic accident.

Senior Staff Software Engineer

Dec 2017 – Oct 2025
Synopsys Inc · Sunnyvale, CA

Designed scalable fault injection tooling and data pipelines (Python, Redis) to test software behavior under failure. This experience heavily influenced my “fault-tolerant” investing philosophy.
