Hi, I'm Jonathan.
I'm a programmer.
|
For applications, I mainly use C# and Java, but have been known to dabble in C, C++ and ActionScript too. Recently, I've been taking time off from paid projects to work on my own research. You can look at my technical CV / resume, download some apps I have made, or check out my application portfolio. |

I'm an enthusiastic, hard-working teacher, and have received great feedback from students and colleagues. I have taught one-to-one with private students, and have worked in Japanese junior and senior high schools with a wide range of ability. You can look at my teaching CV / resume, or check out my feedback. |

I also think a lot about life.
|
The meaning of life? To be happy and useful. Unsatisfying? I've got more. I think this topic is really important, so it's something I've been researching. I keep coming back to happiness being two things:
I have written a bit about this topic, and have also written a program to try to predict new things you would be passionate about. |

I'm a web developer.
|
For my sites, I mainly use PHP and MySQL. I am not looking for development projects at this time, but am open to projects where we share the work and the proceeds. You can look at my technical CV / resume, or check out my web design portfolio. |

I'm a Japanese speaker.
|
I have been learning Japanese since 2004. It's a lovely language, and the people are great. I worked as a receptionist and English helper in 2008 in an eye clinic in Tsunashima, Japan. While there were not a lot of English-speaking visitors, it was very good Japanese practice. I passed JLPT 3 in 2006, and am around JLPT 2 (business fluency) now. I really should take the exam. To check my current level, you can see my personal site in Japanese, or read my writings. |
