MOCHITEC announced that Ryo Ueda, manager of its AI Development Department and director of its AI Lab, has been selected for the 2026 cohort of Snowflake Squad, a community recognition program run by Snowflake. The company said the selection recognizes community contribution and outreach. Ueda has written on note about Snowflake CoCo in Snowsight, natural-language reliance, and AI Ready data infrastructure.
Ueda also studies data infrastructure design using Snowflake, and MOCHITEC says its data team works from inventorying the As-Is to formulating the To-Be for clients, while posting about Snowflake and related technologies.
The company's stated goal is to use AI to surface problems that client know-how and past practice hide, and to improve operational efficiency. Snowflake Squad selects members yearly based on community participation, information dissemination, and knowledge sharing, with outreach weighing as heavily as technical ability.
