At mobalean we love to build innovative web services for Japan and the world. Our experience will help transform your ideas into successful online services.
Mobalean is lead by Henri Servomaa, the original founder and mobile developer. At Mobalean we strive to develop services which are loved by our clients and users. By working in an agile manner, quickly adapting to changing requirements, we can deliver quickly and often.
Hailing from Finland, Henri has a long history with computers and the internet. With a background in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, he has worked in Japan as Software Developer and System Admin since 2001. In 2005, he joined a company to develop mobile sites for the Japanese market and has been involved in mobile ever since.
Cleve Lendon is a Canadian engineer who has been contracting for Mobalean. He came to Tokyo in 1994, and has lived here ever since. He has broad experience as a software developer, which includes development of mainframe software, Internet applications and mobile apps (Android and iOS). He is especially skilled at writing Java applications (vd. Simredo 4, Grafikilo 15). When not programming, Cleve enjoys improv acting and studying languages, such as Latin and Esperanto.
Our strength is crafting web services for both Japanese and international markets. We bring our technical and cultural experience to help you adapt your ideas into successful products.
We develop with Ruby on Rails and use the best agile practices and tools, such as test driven development and continuous integration to achieve quality.
We are the leading provider of technical expertise about the Japanese mobile web. Mobalean started when the smartphones were just appearing on the market. Our Keitai Web Technology Guide is a quick starting point for learning about the initial challenges of Japanese mobile development. Although the technology stacks have changed since the proliferation of iOS and Android, some of the idiosyncrasies remain. Most notably, the Japanese market is still very much dominated by the big three carriers: DoCoMo, au and Softbank. Developers can find more technical details in our Keitai-Dev Wiki.

For over a year, we have been helping with the organization of Mobile Monday Tokyo, a leading networking organization supporting the local mobile industry. One challenge we faced with Mobile Monday Tokyo was at-the-door check-in, as finding a given participant required scanning through a list of over 200 registered participants. To address this, we settled on distributing tickets with QR codes, which are ubiquitous in Japan. As every standard Japanese mobile phone is equipped with a QR code scanner, this is a fast, easy to use, and cheap solution for handling at-the-door check-ins.
What began as a simple tool for checking-in attendees, evolved into a fully featured event management system. Tailored to the needs of Mobile Monday Tokyo, we built a system that helps to
This event management system has helped to smoothly run many Mobile Monday events in Tokyo.
The challenges faced by Mobile Monday Tokyo are similar to many other types of networking, industry and similar events. So today we are opening this service to the public as Doorkeeper to allow everyone to take advantage of the easy ticketing and check-in it offers.
Doorkeeper delivers a compelling and cost-effective solution for many event organizers. With Doorkeeper, we only take a small commission on tickets sold through our system. No setup fees, no monthly fees, no other hidden fees. You can use Doorkeeper to host your free events for free.
