Today is: Monday, September 8, 2025
I founded eSolia, a boutique IT services firm based in Tokyo, in 1999. We passed our 25th anniversary in July 2024 and hope to stay healthy and profitable, working on improving our operations by implementing ISO 27001.
I have spent my career in IT in Japan, doing a wide range of activities, such as compsci tutoring, physical cabling, network engineering, project management, software development, system architecture and design, solution consulting, web design and development, and delivering training courses to name a few. Sometimes I look back with nostalgia on the way things were in the late ’80s, but mostly, I like how things are now (you're old if you remember the struggle of autoexec.bat and config.sys, and trying to squeeze drivers into limited memory)!

- A and I are heading to Osaka to visit the Expo. Of course a typhoon was coming up as we were heading down so there was a delay but we are moving now. Oh and there’s a pet bird chirping away. 🚄🐤
