Keita's passion lies at the intersection of emerging technologies, digital arts, and economics. He graduated from UC San Diego with a B.S. in Management Science (Quantitative Economics) and a minor in Visual Arts Digital Media. He co-founded Nanome in 2015 and now leads company operations. Nanome enables expert scientists, students, and hobbyists to design and simulate molecules in Virtual Reality. Nanome is the next step in computational/medicinal chemistry, structural biology, and beyond.---As the lead programmer for his high school robotics team, he led his team to two time (2009,2010) state championships at VEX robotics competitions. As an award-winning filmmaker, his films won the 2014 HIFF (Hawaii International Film Festival) student showcase and was named San Diego Surf Film Festival's Emerging Filmmaker. At UCSD, he met Steve McCloskey and was as inspired to create Nanome.

When I was 2 my family moved to Japan. I attended Japanese elementary school and moved back to the states when I was 12. I am fluent in both English and Japanese. During my undergraduate career, after reading about Mt.Gox in late 2013, I found a new passion for cryptocurrencies and blockchain, which made me switch my degree from Computer Science to Management Science (Quantitative Economics).Being the Assistant Curator for the UC San Diego Film Festival, I was exposed to VR since 2014. When I first experienced the google cardboard and the HTC Vive, I decided that I could no longer be a painter when photography just got invented, sort of speak. This led me to learn as much as I could about VR. While promoting the Festival, I met Steve McCloskey, who told me about his idea for NanoVR in April 2015, which we evolved into Nanome. While at Nanome, I was able to collaborate with Structural Biologists, Crystallographers, Computational/Medicinal Chemists, and Protein engineers. Though not an expert by any means, from these collaborations, I had a crash course in 'insilico' drug discovery research. I'm incredibly passionate about using VR to accelerate these scientist's workflows.
