After one year of intensive Japanese study, I gained employment as a software engineer at NTT Data - Japan's largest system's integration company.

Working on a team localizing an object-oriented Oracle-like database system, I was given the enviable task of developing end-user graphic software tools.

For more context, I kept a summarized diary of my salaryman-like experience whilst in Japan.

Specific Work:

• Successfully designed and developed (using C++) a PC-based, visual database design tool (the “VisualEditor”)
  used by database schema architects to construct complex object oriented database implementations.
• Wrote extensive QA Partner testing suite code for several Unix-based motif applications.
