I live in a Buddhist temple in Iwate, Japan, and have been solving the world`s (my clients`) problems as a (mostly) Freelance Software Engineer since 2008. I love engineering. Currently I am using English and Japanese texts to learn new technologies, programming languages, and methodologies. I`m relearning PHP and Python in Japanese currently. I have a diverse range of experience that all impacts the ways I can find solutions to problems. Outside of Software Engineering I have worked in PCB factories, warehouses, founded a couple of LLCs, designed car electronics, run e-commerce businesses, been a stay-home parent, and been an English teacher. My hobbies are automating tasks around the temple, working with Linux, programming, studying Japanese, teaching English to locals, and growing vegetables. I am currently searching for an exceptional team to join and develop some software together that just may change the world. ©
