Here’s my #introduction. In my professional life as an #astronomer and #ResearchSoftwareEngineer I work on novel instrumentation for #astronomy, including imaging #stars using #opticalinterferometry, and #exoplanet discovery. My research involves coding in #C and #python. My favourite text editor is #emacs. In my spare time I enjoy #reading, #cooking and #cricket.

Just in case anyone is curious it costs me a little over $1,200 a month to run QOTO and all its services.

#QOTO

#Introduction for new folks. A s/w engineer for over 20yrs. Started out in #Linux set-top-boxes, did Playstation dev at a game studio, worked on VNC, optical network gear, home automation/energy (Hive) and lots more.
For 8yrs, I've been freelance doing #embedded and #IoT. I've worked with lots of great startups from undersea cameras to bike navigation, medical devices and giant art installations.

When I'm not doing that, I'm sea #kayaking, cooking or out walking the countryside and coast.

#introduction time!
Hello folks! I’m an Electrical Engineer having worked primarily in the Rocket/Aviation tech world but now focusing on the ocean research world at UW here in Seattle. I dabble in #hamradio #electronics and some #embedded #C. I’ve also been into #rockclimbing and #mountaineering for some time now and always happy to get outdoors. Sometimes I combined it all with #SummitsOnTheAir. When I get time to do projects at home I sometimes post them!

Mastodon right now is full of the loveliest people posting introductions about themselves and why they’re there and honestly, we want to follow every single one of them now humbly telling others who they are, what they love and why they’re there.

Bless.

Once again I have been informed that cooking fish sticks and chicken nuggets on the same cookie sheet does not, in fact, count as "surf 'n turf."

The literal highlight of the Semiconductor Industry Association awards ceremony last night was the San Jose Marriott's Chihuly-esque chandelier design.
