About this site

Hey there! I’m an alpine enthusiast based in Tokyo, where I’ve built an exciting career in product, engineering, and pre/post sales. 🇯🇵

🏔️ From the frosty winters of Vermont, I moved to Japan and was thrilled to discover the milder 10°C (no more -20°C!) winters. Embracing my love for mountains, I’ve been tackling the 100 Famous Mountains of Japan, with a brief pause for parenthood.

🎮 From a young age, I've been passionate about creating games. In elementary school, I was inspired by Mortal Kombat and aspired to develop fighting games of my own. As time passed, my interests shifted towards games like Final Fantasy VII and early online games such as Nexus TK, which I was introduced to at an old QBASIC forum called Tsugumo's Lair.

Some of my most notable works include:

• Aspereta: A 2D MMORPG developed using VB6 (DirectX 7 and WinSock). Conceived in my high school days in the Japanese countryside, Aspereta evolved into Illutia.
• Yugen Saga: A 2D MMORPG, reimagined using Illutia’s assets but with updated technology — a C# server and Phaser 3 client. Explore this world at yugensaga.com.
