I've been programming on and off for quite some time. Started with BASIC with assembly on 8-bit machine (called MSX...). Then I moved on to Perl, C++, C, and finally Python. Now I work in science and do programming for scientific data analysis. I occasionally help people with Japanese since, well, I am Japanese. How I wish I could go back to Japan!!

I am available for freelance work in software programming (using Python/SciPy/NumPy/Matplotlib and C/C++ for low level stuff) and English-Japanese translation, as well as other engagements if they are actually interesting.
