Ax / Yuya Ono

Developer — Cloud & AI/ML

A developer who loves cloud and AI/ML. Since August 2026 I've been an Applied AI Architect at Anthropic, helping enterprises in Japan confidently run AI that is both safe and genuinely useful in production. These days I talk about code more than I write it, and casual tech chat is my favorite thing. Lately hooked on LLMs and AI agents. I build systems that let agents take over everyday work — news gathering, task management, blog operations — and run them on GCP and AWS as the axgws tool fleet. Also into tennis, and a bit of the game of Go. The nickname "Ax" comes from my surname: Ono (小野) sounds like ono (斧), Japanese for axe 🪓.
