Shotaro M.

My strengths lie in my English-to-Japanese localization skills, cultivated through hands-on industry experience, as well as my strong attention to detail and quality-oriented work style — both developed during my time as an implementation project manager at a Japanese medical imaging software company. In that role, I successfully led system deployments at over 100 hospitals across Japan, including several prestigious university hospitals. I worked extensively with PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) and have a deep understanding of DICOM standards. I also have hands-on experience integrating hospital systems using HL7, connecting medical devices and electronic health record (EHR) systems. In addition, I was involved in server-side maintenance and infrastructure support, including work with SQL Server, Windows Server, and related hardware. I also led integration projects involving international medical software systems, including those developed in the U.S., gaining extensive experience in bilingual communication and professional presentations. Additional qualifications include: -In-depth understanding of Japanese culture and regional language variations, gained through extensive business travel across Japan -15 years of experience in proofreading and refining Japanese business documents -15 years of experience delivering presentations in both Japanese and English -Proven track record in managing development teams, overseeing recruitment activities, and negotiating with clients (including physicians and engineers) -Experience teaching certification-focused courses at a vocational school for medical IT professionals in Japan
