Software engineer and farmer living in rural Japan.

If you’re looking for a remote senior software engineer (most recently golang, but I’ve worked in a little bit of everything in the last 20 years), I’d love to hear from you. Japan PR, Canadian and US citizenship. Native English speaker, proficient Japanese, learning Norwegian (now between A2 and B1, though listening/speaking is lagging a bit due to lack of chance to practice), and some very rusty German and French I could get back to speed on.

  • Yep. I moved to rural Japan because my company was fine with remote anywhere in Japan. Started my small farm and my life here. They assured me it wouldn’t be a barrier for advancement as well.

    Now, the same company is trying to get everyone fulltime back in the office, over 4 hours each way from my house. They won’t pay the cost of even one day. I will likely lose my job. I don’t think I live through this.
