My attempt at an #introduction:
I'm a software developer with a degree in philosophy. So, whenever I start at a new company I try to reassure my fellow developers that I did take some programming courses while doing my philosophy degree and that I stuck around for a 5th year to also get a degree in English literature... and then went on and got a computer systems diploma with a focus on data communication.
Current job title and interest is Mobile Applications Developer.
I bounce around from one geeky interest to another with the energy of a frenetic gerbil, whether its #comics, #boardgames, theme parks (#Disney and Universal), #scifi, or drifting into a re-invigorated interest in classic #literature gathering as much joy as possible.
Currently playing "Oath" at weekly game night and just finished reading "Still Just a Geek" by Wil Wheaton.
@derickflorian thanks for the welcome. I think it's interesting to realize that STEM is often STEAM with the Arts being a trigger for our own curiousity and creativity whether its an episode of #startrek or a favourite #scifi book
@rpfennig Twitter has a job opening for you
@smokefire to soon... but Bluesky has a Software Engineer, Mobile position open.
Will be curious to see if it continues to get funded. Seems unlikely given the areas that were cut today.
@rpfennig Yeah doesn't seem like a thing 🤷♂️
@rpfennig very cool and welcome, i have a bachelor of arts and MBA and am switching to software engineering and working on a computer engineering associates now. Glad to see someone else was able to make a somewhat similar change!
