Nik Edmiidz
Professional Solution Architect, Knowledge Engineer, and Project/Product Manager and Data & Analytics Engineer, I'm also an amateur linguist and amateur palaeontologist (or maybe just Paleo enthusiast). Recently completed the development of a geofence messaging product known as Sig2. I got my start in Japan many years ago, and for a summary of that, please read Interview From Japan to North America Reverse Culture Shock.
