MEMBER PROFILE
Keina Kanisawa
Engineering Manager
Background
I began my career as a game programmer. Since then, I have worked at companies of various sizes, gaining experience in contract-based web application development and SaaS product development. Throughout my career, I have primarily taken on leadership roles, including Project Manager, Product Manager, and Engineering Manager.
Why I joined CADDi
What first caught my attention was CADDi's mission: "Unleash the potential of the manufacturing industry." I've always had a deep respect for manufacturing, so I was immediately intrigued by the idea of contributing to its transformation. As I learned more about the company and spoke with the team during the interview process, I realized that my first impression was exactly right. Beyond the technical complexity of the challenges, there are also deep-rooted structural and cultural issues within the industry. What impressed me most was that CADDi wasn't simply a company chasing an impossibly ambitious vision. Instead, everyone genuinely believed that these incredibly difficult challenges were solvable—and was fully committed to making that happen. In the end, I asked myself, "How many opportunities like this will I have in my career?" That question ultimately convinced me to join CADDi.
My work at CADDi
Since joining CADDi, I have been serving as the Engineering Manager of the team responsible for developing and operating our data platform. I also work as the PMO for cross-functional development projects, collaborating closely with teams across the organization to strengthen the foundation that supports CADDi's products and business. As an Engineering Manager, I am passionate about helping both the team and each individual member grow. Through people management, I strive to empower my team, bring out the best in every member, and support them in reaching their full potential.
