I'm Shion Honda, a software engineer at Alan.
I moved from Tokyo to Paris in 2023 to join my current company. Before that, I worked as a machine learning engineer at Recruit, where I enjoyed the challenge of developing state-of-the-art algorithms and serving them for tens of millions of users.
I graduated from the University of Tokyo. My master thesis was about representation learning for molecules.
Outside my work, I love exploring music, cooking, and reading.
See LinkedIn for my updated profile and professional experience.
