Recently quit my job to study Japanese full-time with plans to take the top level proficiency test at the end of next year. I'll probably do something part time next year but i'm working towards a career in localization/translation/interpreting, hopefully with the Nintendo Treehouse^^

Software Engineer/Developer.

Cool!

I am also a software engineer (for over 20 years). Most at work think of me as a Swiss Army Knife.

I can write the code, validate it, and build the data center it runs in all from scratch. Did just that for a company that makes streaming media players and TVs.

In fact I'm looking to hire another person or two with a proven reputation of doing the same. :)

I don't want to hijack the thread so PM me if any of you want more details.

I applied there once.  I was even contacted for more information.  Turns out, they didn't want me.  I can't imagine why a streaming media company didn't want a civil engineer.   :o
