thejikz<p>Career Change.</p><p>I would like to change industry: where it overlaps well enough.<br>I want to be a programmer/hardware/metal fab person. I want to help make the things, programming parts at the hardware level. Helping design the cases maybe for yhis magic non device. This is what I feel the most need for help with, the "what job fits ME"? </p><p>Currently I have a nice job I do not need to leave, but my skill/passion is making it quite tedious. I detail HVAC sheet metal from engineered drawings to send to fabrication. I also program C# addins for Revit. </p><p>I found an EV Charging company that install new chargers at retail stores as inspiration. They need both Softare Dev and Construction people. Manufacturing facilities maybe? I would like them to be companies whos broader aim is working toward less junky outputs to humans and responsible planeteering. </p><p>The salary range I need is mid to senior software dev. I think I can with my skills and tenacity, get one. I just need to FIND the one. Are there companies that would take me on as an "advanced, well strung apprentice" full of childlike curiousity, annoying questions that make you a better boss or leader, and also help a worthy company be awesomer?<br>I seek to be able to help teams and flow into spaces that need help beyond my position.<br>I have often filled odd spots at past positions. Contracting options are ok also but I would rather work for someone established for a bit in a new field.</p><p>Seattle area based or full remote is necessary. </p><p>I have expert skills in: <br>-Sheet Metal (breaking, shearing, welding, duct fab, craft fab, art fab, plasma table, Local 66 SMWIA, 16 years)<br>-Architectural Sheet Metal (Building envelopes, ornamental, specialty metals)<br>-Showing up, working as expected, etc<br>-Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD<br>-Learning new tech parts or stacks</p><p>I am profficient with:<br>-Hand tools<br>-Power Tools<br>-Industrial tools<br>-Jobsite Safety (OSHA training etc)<br>-Jobsite planning and staging equipment and material<br>-Crane signal/rigging certified <br>-Programming with C# in .NET<br>-HTML, CSS, Website building at server level.<br>-Windows/Linux general<br>-Networking protocols in general</p><p>I am comfortable with:<br>-Command lines<br>-Python programming<br>-C, ZIG, others as needed for exploring</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>askfedi</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FediHire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FediHire</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/jobsearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jobsearch</span></a></p>
