Work

I work for DST Systems, a company which does, among many other things, record keeping for the mutual fund industry. I have been a software project leader there for several years. DST opened a Bangkok office something about four years ago. I am here now as a "subject matter expert," working with Thai project leaders and serving as a consultant and sharing business knowledge about the retirement plan side of our business.

The photo above (from left to right)shows Momo (a Thai project leader I work with), me, Steve Lee (an American expat I work alongside), and Lek, Momo's technical leader.

This is a part of the office where I work. Because our bangkok office is rapidly growing, it recently relocated to the newly built Fenix Tower (spelling is correct) on Sukhumvit Road, the main street in the business area of Bangkok. The office is not as cramped as it looks in this photo, although you'll notice it is not the normal cube farm.

Some of our workers on lunch break in the area next to the cafeteria, getting serious about some pong pong. You don't want to play against most of these guys. It is pretty intense.
