Join us for the third instalment of TokyoDev Talks, where we have presentations that cut across the stack from engineers working at some of the most interesting tech companies in Japan.
Note that attendance for this event is limited software developers, those aspiring to become one, or working in an adjacent position (e.g. Product Managers, UI/UX Designers, Security Engineers, etc). If you're unsure whether you're qualified to attend, please get in touch.
Enjoy talking with the other participants before the presentations begin. Drinks and snacks will be provided by Autify.
We'll kick things off by welcoming everyone and giving a short introduction of the event.
Exploring approaches to integrating LLMs when dealing with extensive documents where every section is critical, making traditional RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) with vector search insufficient.
Pedro Almeida has six years of experience in artificial intelligence, natural language processing (NLP), and AI-driven automation. He specializes in generative models, neural search, and applied AI research. Currently, he is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Autify, where he focuses on integrating advanced generative models into quality assurance and test automation. Previously, Pedro worked as a on the same role leading research and development in NLP applications, including sentiment analysis, neural search, and large language models (LLMs). He has also contributed to AI-driven stock control systems and developed NLP solutions one of Brazil’s top retailers. Beyond industry, Pedro has done academic research which spans virtual reality (VR), computer vision, and AI-powered automation and has published research in international conferences and journals.
Exploring how no-code testing platforms could simplify and speed up testing processes in similar scenarios, highlighting their advantages, such as faster test creation, easier collaboration, and lower technical barriers, while discussing their limitations and how they compare to traditional automation tools.
Desmond Ma has six years of experience in software development, spanning full-stack web development, QA testing, QA automation, and technical support engineering. He is currently a Technical Support Engineer at Autify, an AI-powered quality assurance platform, where he specializes in troubleshooting complex customer issues and optimizing automated testing workflows. Before Autify, Desmond worked across diverse industries, including financial services, emergency response, and mining. He contributed to developing a new auto loan brokerage SPA platform in the subprime loan sector, ensuring quality and reliability as both a QA and engineer. He played a key role in the WA Police 000 and emergency response system upgrade, facilitating migration and integration onto the Azure cloud platform as a full-stack engineer. Additionally, he worked in the mining sector, developing a data management and tracking platform for underground drilling operations using AWS.
Discuss the presentation or anything else with the other attendees.
Autify is a test automation platform founded in San Francisco by a team of engineers who were the first Japanese team to graduate from the top US accelerator Alchemist Accelerator. Over 300 companies have implemented our platform.
TokyoDev's job board is filled with software developer positions at Japanese companies whose engineering team’s primary language is English. From the big companies you’ve already heard of, to smaller up-and-coming startups, our positions offer you the chance to live in Japan but work in an international environment.
