Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Turner is an experienced software engineer and executive director based in Chiyoda, Japan, who has spent 12+ years bridging technical work, university liaison, and hands-on operations for small ventures. He runs Project Persephone as a webmaster and university liaison while also owning and operating a family ryokan where he handles reservations, guest relations, and the website—demonstrating a rare mix of technical depth and real-world customer service. A UC Berkeley computer science alumnus, he specializes in Japanese–English technical translation, file-format conversions, and pragmatic small-business apps. Known for fast, highly-comprehending reading and a skeptical, source-vetting approach, he excels at spotting when cross-disciplinary ideas are genuinely novel versus reused thinking. Colleagues describe him as a creative, critical thinker who prefers tangible problem-solving over buzzwordy roles like “strategy consultant” or “executive coach.” If you want blunt, research-driven insight into whether an idea can actually work, he’s the person to talk to.
