After a rural upbringing in Australia and a degree in surveying (land/engineering/mining) at the University of Melbourne (1990), Brett lived in Nagoya, Japan from 1991 to 2004. Building on subsequent experience in writing, translating, and editing technical documents for major Japanese producers of software, electronics, and machinery, Brett found his true calling as a developer of information management systems and web applications. With a penetrating eye for discerning simple paths through complex problems, Brett has created various customized, labor-saving solutions – from information management tools to Web-based data processing and navigation applications for a clientele that reads like a who’s who of the Japanese manufacturing and electronics industries. Brett is currently based on Australia’s Sunshine Coast, with the bulk of his work still sourced from Japan.
