Outline

Highly skilled in C, C++, Java, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, CSS, and HTML, and have experience with C# and ActionScript, and will learn anything else in no time. I work with development tools such as emacs, gcc, gdb, make, git, svn, cvs, and also Microsoft tools such as Visual Studio and MS Project, as well as Eclipse. I have experience with many tools for embedded systems, such as Green Hills MULTI compiler/debugging environment, MicroView PLUS debugger, ARM ADS and RVCT toolchains, JTAG ICE debugger, the Qualcomm BREW tools, the IAR toolchain, Ericsson Mobile Platform, and Android, among others.

My web technology experience started with server-side development and databases, and continued to include client-side web application development. I run a number of web sites, services, and web-based games on a hobby basis, and developed web technology-based mobile widgets for the KDDI au one gadget platform while at Opera. I enjoy creating graphics and designs.

In my future career, I would like to utilize my skills in programming, communicating, coordinating, and being creative more. I want to continue working close to customers, and enjoy working in a Japanese-speaking environment.

I have lived in Japan since October 2005. Please call me Henrik.
