Living the good life in Japan

  • About me
    My name is Francois, I’m a french guy living in Japan, working for a big french company as an System Analyst/Engineer somewhere deep in Saitama. Here are a few facts about me: I’m a co-founder of the successful french website MacBidouille.com It has spawned an english version at HardMac.com I’m bilingual in french and english thanks to studying at EABJM in Paris as a kid There, I also studied japanese for 9 years, but I could barely make a sentence before coming to Japan I graduated with an Engineering degree (major in Information Systems) in September 2004 After that I worked as a freelance web application developer to pay for my numerous travels around the world, all the while looking for a good job in Japan I finally found it and moved to Japan in November 2005 with a 2 year contract I was hired in Nov. 2007 in that same big French company, working on R&D Information Systems Other links of interest: My web presence portal (fancy word for “links to my profiles around the web”) A post I made describing my job as of February 2009
