I have been working as an engineer in Japanese companies over 30 years. Initially as a contractor then running startups then working in bigger companies. Eventually project management then tech lead CTO at ecosphere. I also ended up running Iconic Data Japan as CEO. I ended up in Singapore running the Japanese company from there and creating development teams in companies that I established in Myanmar. Now I have moved back to the US and reside in Las Vegas.
