About

Experienced IT Functional Consultant with over 3.5 years specializing in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM implementations, customizations, and operational support. Served as the bridge between clients and development teams, covering requirements gathering, system configuration, business process automation, documentation, and user training. Hands-on experience with Power Platform and Azure DevOps for workflow automation and CI/CD pipeline management, including project lead responsibilities for small teams. Prior background as a CAD designer and project coordinator in facility engineering and custom furniture design, bringing strong technical comprehension and end-to-end project delivery skills. My core strength is bridging the gap between client business needs and technical implementation. As a Functional Consultant at World-Direct, I managed Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM projects end-to-end, translating client requirements into actionable specifications for development teams, and handling everything from system configuration to user training. I introduced Power Platform workflows and automation tooling that improved operational efficiency and left reusable assets for future projects. In small-team settings I stepped into project lead roles, coordinating tasks and keeping delivery on track. My earlier CAD background gave me a foundation of technical accuracy and the ability to follow a project from concept through physical delivery, something I carry into my IT consulting work as a structured, detail-oriented approach to problem-solving. I thrive in cross-functional, international environments where clear communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders is essential. I am currently deepening my Japanese to business proficiency level, aiming for JLPT N2 in 2026, and am highly motivated to build a long-term career in Japan.
