Projects
By day I work in an normal cubicle in a normal office and I develop web applications, mobile applications and web services. I enjoy my job, but some times I have other ideas I want to work on, so here are some non-day-job things which I contribute to or maintain in some way.
Unnamed Designers Market

I co-founded this website which is a tri-lingual(English,Japanese,Chinese) online mall for independent designers and artists. I built this website from scratch using CodeIgniter and MySQL and still serve as CTO. The payment system is implemented via the Paypal API. One of the biggest selling points for this site is the ability to translate your information and product descriptions into 3 languages via the MyGengo Translation API.
GSUシステム

I didn’t actually build the website that link goes to, that site provides information about the GSU system, which I built. Basically its a paid service for owners of restaurants, bars and cafes to automatically update their information on the directory website ぐるなび. They enter their information and schedule time for their information to be updated. For example if happy hour starts at 7pm, then they can schedule a status update to say “happy hour is now open” to appear on their profile at 6:55pm without anyone from the shop ever going near a computer. It was made using CodeIgniter, MySQL and JQuery.
JSON Tinker

I do a lot of projects which involve a JSON Web Service in some way, and a really common task for me was to quickly edit JSON and then create a mock web service to test JSON consumers. So I created a JSON Tinker, which is a quick way build/edit JSON and then publish it as a temporary web service available on the internet. It is mostly Javascript with a bit of PHP-MySQL thrown in for persistence.
Hair Raise
link: http://hair-raise.com/
This is a WordPress website which I host and maintain. It was designed by my lovely wife for a local hair stylist, I just work on the WordPress customizations, JQuery magic and occasionally build some plugins for it.
