Thanks! 😃
It's actually a pretty simple story: I came over for work. I graduated college around when the dotcom bubble burst, and so the gatekeepers were in full force preventing people from even applying to tech jobs unless they had tons of experience in pretty much everything (or were willing to lie on their resume, which I never was), so I looked abroad and Japan seemed a good place to camp out for a few years. That few years became a quarter of a lifetime, so far, and still going.
