Hello! My name is NAGAHARA IKUMA. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Software Engineering at East China Normal University in Shanghai, China. I enjoy studying in an international environment alongside my Chinese classmates, which enriches my academic and cultural experiences
I have a passion for traveling and have visited several countries, including Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Dubai, Italy, and South Korea. These experiences have allowed me to explore diverse cultures and perspectives, which have greatly enhanced my intercultural understanding and broadened my horizons
In my professional career, I worked for approximately two years at Pixel Software Corporation in Japan, where I developed industrial real-time process information management systems and factory data management software. Following that, I completed a remote internship at “Tomorrows AI” in the United States, where I contributed to media platform development
Leveraging my multicultural experiences and technical skills, I aspire to contribute to international projects and create innovative value as a professional engineer. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to connecting with you.

Software Engineer - Pixel Software 株式会社
I Programmed Industrial Real-Time Process Information Management System (known as PLANETMEISTER) and its Gateway Software.
Bug fix included This project utilized the TCP/IP protocol to receive data from sensors, enabling efficient and reliable processing.
Why TCP/IP was chosen ?.
The data sent by the sensors was critical and could not tolerate any loss or disorder.
Therefore, we prioritized the reliability of data transmission and adopted the TCP protocol to ensure the data was delivered securely.
TCP provides retransmission features in case of data loss and maintains the order of transmission, making it the optimal choice for achieving both real-time performance and stability.
In this system, the sensors transmitted data using TCP, and the server-side received it in real-time through TCP sockets.
The received data packets were parsed to extract necessary information, such as sensor IDs and measurement values.
Additionally, we leveraged Golang’s concurrency features (goroutines and channels) to efficiently handle a large number of connections, ensuring scalability.
Key outcomes are that Achieved a 40% increase in data throughput.
Significantly reduced processing time, ensuring real-time performance.
Enabled a smooth migration from the legacy system built with VB and C languages through reliable data communication.
Through this project, I successfully combined the reliable communication capabilities of the TCP/IP protocol with the high-efficiency concurrency of Golang, resulting in a substantial improvement in overall system performance and stability.
I also programmed control software in C#, enabling system operators to monitor real-time industrial data.
In collaboration with a seven-member team, I participated in software specification design, test plan execution, and quality assurance.
Furthermore, I created detailed technical documentation, reported project progress, and provided solutions to stakeholders .
2019.9 - 2021.6

China Eastern Airlines Dispatch Optimization
Overview
Participated in a dispatch optimization project at China Eastern Airlines to enhance task assignment and scheduling efficiency. Utilized Deep Reinforcement Learning (CVNet) and swarm intelligence algorithms (ABC, FA) to develop a dispatch model adaptable to dynamic real-time environments
Roles
[Model Design] - Modeled task assignment as a Semi-Markov Decision Process (SMDP), factoring in task priority, travel cost, and skill compatibility. - Addressed combination constraints based on employee skills (A, B, C). [Algorithm Implementation] - Employed CVNet to learn the value function for tasks and optimize dynamic task assignment. - Leveraged swarm intelligence algorithms (ABC, FA) to reduce travel costs while improving scheduling efficiency. [Proposal of Results] - Proposed research outcomes to China Eastern Airlines, including algorithm implementation details, performance evaluation, and practical applicability
Results
[Outcome] - Proposed a new dispatch model that contributes to improved operational efficiency at China Eastern Airlines. - Developed algorithms capable of real-time dynamic task adjustment. - The proposal is designed with actual on-site application in mind
