Nathan Rihet · Osaka, Japan
Full Stack Engineer and Photographer
I am a Full Stack Engineer based in Osaka. I work across frontend, backend and delivery with TypeScript, Next.js, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker and CI/CD, and I have practical experience with applied AI and document retrieval.
Current work
I work as a Full Stack Engineer at Rokken, contributing to medical-imaging and applied-AI software. My work covers user-facing interfaces, APIs, secure data workflows, automated tests, code review and delivery pipelines.
I work with engineers and domain specialists while keeping customer and product-sensitive information private.
Previous experience
At Capgemini, I developed generative-AI and document-retrieval applications with React, Python and FastAPI. My work included a Flask-to-FastAPI migration, hybrid retrieval and automated Azure deployments with Docker, Terraform and CI/CD.
I later built DocsRetriever, a B2B document-search SaaS, from initial design through deployment. It combined document processing, retrieval-augmented generation, custom APIs and automated delivery. The product is no longer online; its case study documents the system and the decisions behind it.
I also designed and delivered seven practical workshops on conversational agents for Master’s students at Université Côte d’Azur. The course material remains publicly available.
Engineering and photography
Photography has made me more attentive to composition, hierarchy and detail. Those habits also influence how I approach interfaces and technical work.
My photographs cover portrait, urban, night, live-performance and event work across France, Canada and Japan. The engineering case studies explain how I build systems; the photography archive documents my visual work.
