For nearly 30 years, I've lived in Japan teaching English. But in my spare time, I've always been a bit of a 'logic person' - someone who enjoys building websites and finding ways to automate tedious tasks.
Lately, I've been learning how to build better tools for small businesses. I'm focusing on creating custom internal systems that replace messy spreadsheets with clean, secure databases.

I made my own blogging system, which I affectionately call Kiyora, to share my thoughts on software development, gaming, and life in Japan. Feel free to check them out!

Get to Know Me
I've been gaming for over 40 years, so I decided to start a gaming blog to share my reviews, thoughts and experiences with fellow gamers.
Visit the BlogFor years, I've been running my own English school in Japan. I teach "conversation classes" to adults and children, both in-person and online.
In addition to lessons, I regularly make free English-learning materials for students. Teachers, too, are welcome to use these in their classes.
