An American software engineer living in Japan.
I make programming languages, participate in the occasional game jams, and draw comics. Occasionally I teach computer science. Sometimes I accidentally create social networks.
I've also been known to be coerced into giving unhinged tech talks at your meetup event that somehow devolve into an alienating rant about StarCraft or the correct pronunciation of GIF.
I created Two Cans & String, Linked List, asdfjkl;, Plexi OS, and Crayon Lang.
Former Google/Microsoft employee. At Microsoft I worked on Blend for several years in the Ballmer-Silverlight-Vista-Frutiger-Aero years, but I doubt any of my code still survives. Although, it may have gotten rolled into the Visual Studio XAML design surface. Who knows. Regarding Google, if you had an Android phone in 2014, I probably accidentally caused your phone battery to drain extra quickly for a few months due to a sync API bug. I also made the feature on Chrome OS where you can undock the touch-screen keyboard from the bottom of the screen and drag it around. Yup, that was me. Guilty on both charges.
After that, I was a curriculum designer and instructor at a coding school in Tokyo that helped people find software engineering jobs in Japan and ran various tech events in the local tech community, until the company pivoted to corporate-endeavors-only and downsized most of the staff.
