This Blog
This blog will mostly be a dev blog about technologies I use like: Java, Spring, PHP, CodeIgniter, JQuery, MongoDB and maybe some Android and Actionscript. It will also contain posts about my experience in the IT industry in Japan as a foreigner who can barely speak any Japanese.
Me
I am an Australian web developer trying to survive in Tokyo.
I enjoy snowboarding, basketball and ultimate frisbee.
You can read about my various side projects on the projects page.
You can often find me complaining on twitter: @icchanosaur
Work History
For a long time I was a Java web technologies developer at a bank in Sydney, Australia.
Then I was an English teacher at Junior High School in very rural Japan.
Then I was a very, very poor freelance PHP web application developer in Tokyo.
Then I was a slightly less poor Java web services contractor at a mobile development start-up in Tokyo.
Then I worked at a small IT consulting company in Tokyo as a C# ASP.NET web application and web services developer who sometimes built Blackberry applications and SharePoint solutions.
