Networking in NCKA / What do you do for a living? / post here

I work to fish.... among other things.  I'm a Designer/Project coordinator for an engineering/design firm located in Morgan Hill, CA.  We specialize in medical devices, automated systems and metrology.  There are a number of other facets to our design capabilities as well.  We manage "ideas" from concept to market release or anywhere in between using the latest in FEA analysis and development in SolidWorks.  I also develop my own items as a "hobby" using SolidWorks.  Have a product you need manufactured?  I have a few very select sources for CNC machining of parts in a varity of materials and finishes, including powdercoating & anodization.  My personal hobies extend into metalworking and woodworking.  Looking for soemthing custom but don't have the means to bring it to life?  I may be willing to barter my after-hours cservices in design/fabrication/assembly for kayak/fishing stuff!  Drop me a line!

This is a sweet thread! 2 pages down, 12 to go! I am working on getting my degree in Network Security and am working at an insurance company for now. God only knows where my career will end up taking me!

Technical writer for a software company headquartered in Dallas, TX. I get to work from home on my own here in Vallejo. I created and manage the company Web sites and write the technical "how to" documents employing the special skill I have to confuse, confound, and frustrate those who need to know how our software updates work. Got hooked on kayak fishing when I spent a day just outside the Santa Cruz harbor with Allen Bushnell. I am grateful for the lessons he taught me and his special patience with a clumsy newbie. I have written some personal stories, some of which deal with my kayaking experience, and I published them on my own Web site: w3.nmolinaropost.com. I am so glad to have joined the madness. Thanks again, Allen.

Malibu x factor.  I know tall guys who like it, 250 pound plus guys who like it.

Medically retired disabled veteran and working mechanical systems design engineer in the biomedical field. Right now I am designing an automated qPCR analysis system.

I only work cuz I love to fish

Mechanical engineer by day at a fiberoptics company in the Bay Area. In my (non-fishing) spare time I build iOS and web apps for fun and (a very tiny amount of) profit. I have a few in the app store and am looking to add to that this year if this new Hobie Quest doesn't take up all of my time (which wouldn't be so bad either  )

I'm very new here  so hello to everyone  .  Thanks to my good buddy brdopry/Kevin for turning me on to this site.

I do secret Squirrel Stuff.  Thats what the troops i support every day call it.

Ok, I work for a DoD contractor on the STRYKER platform. Been there for the last 10 years. Hired as a senior  heavy wheeled vehicle mech, but they found out i have computer hardware , software and heavy military automotive electrical and weapons system skills. So i ended up as a C4ISR tech. Which means i do installs and checkout on DAGR, EPLRS, BFT, FBCB2, SINGCARS, HARRIS HF, and Multiband SATCOM as well as lower tier wireless battlefield / internet and Manuever Control Systems run on UHF, VHF and HF systems. Oh almost forgot, DUKE/CREW/CHAMELEON/OSRVT/ TACTICOMP and RHINO.

My software environment combines various flavors of Windows, Unix and Linux.

Currently there are only 4 of us in the entire nation doing this on this platform. Which means i don't get to fish much. I spend around 300 days a year on the road, with very rare weekends off. 

Is it any wonder people say i'm cranky? Oh, and if you know what even half of that stuff is, I'm looking to trade up in employer quality
