I'm a technical writer for a company that develops encrypted voice communication systems (software and hardware) for aerospace and defense, homeland security and critical infrastructures.

..but before this I used to have really fun jobs . I used to be a teacher for junior highschool/highschool and after that I worked for a Ducati dealer on a racing track.

I am a CAD (Computer Aided Design/Drafter) operator for a small aircraft Company. We build 10 passenger bush planes.
One of our planes was in the movie Transcendense. And another one was in an episode of Breaking Bad.

I've been in IT since 1976. Held pretty much every position there is, starting as a "data entry operator" (keypunch to us old farts) all the way up to being a CIO. Burned out in that role and after several changes in companies and positions, now work in a Network Operations Center for an electric/gas utility. Another 4 1/2 years and I'll call it a day.

I was on 2 of the CG 378' Cutters that had the 12 cylinder, opposed piston(24) diesel engines. You haven't lived until you've had to rewire the flex joint connecting the crank shafts

Small world. I worked in IT for the CG for 10 years (as a contractor.) I've been on many cutters but actually never went on a 378.

I had a dramatic career change from finance to motorcycle industry.

It's sweet!

I changed jobs recently, it's fairly similar but I now work for a company that makes products rather than selling people. We make pro audio consoles, mixers and DSPs for live music. I write embedded and bare metal code.
