Experience

  • Semi Retired at ****
    Feb 2020 - Present · 6 yrs 5 mos

    A very overdue update. Departed Cubiks having received the earn-out from the sale of GraduACE and now residing for half my time in the UK and half my time in Japan. Currently occupied, rather than employed, between some long term contract work for a couple of special Hong Kong clients, and restoring classic cars.
