Yoshiki Watanabe (Yoppie). A systems engineer driving business automation and DX, and a photographer capturing live music — two specialisations, one person.
Repeated manual tasks, siloed processes, disconnected data. Manufacturing-floor perspective applied to automation and DX.
Full automation of routine tasks via UiPath, Python, and GAS. Proposed RPA adoption to executives, won sign-off, and led group-wide rollout — delivering 50+ hours/month in documented savings.
Starting with "where do we begin?" — stakeholder interviews, ROI modeling for executives, adoption, and end-to-end implementation. Communicates in plain language; designs DX that actually sticks.
Mission-critical manufacturing systems: maintenance, extensions, and new builds. Single-handedly delivered a new inventory system end-to-end; refactored data-access logic to make key screens 1.2× faster.
Based in live music photography. The light and expression on stage, the electricity of the crowd. Landscapes and wildlife when on the road.
Stage photography at live venues and events. Capturing expressions and the electricity of the room.
Nature and cityscapes on the road. Patient framing of light and fleeting moments.
Selection, retouching, and file delivery. Finished to fit your intended use.
A systems engineer specialising in production management and accounting systems in manufacturing, with a focus on business automation and DX. Personal projects include stock-trading automation and web development.
On weekends the camera comes out at live-music venues — shooting gigs, landscapes, and wildlife. Technical precision and on-the-ground energy: both matter equally.
