Curious what everyone does for a living?

I am a Senior Software Engineer at a software development company and for my own consulting service. I basically design/develop software 24/7.

I was a Network Engineer for an ISP, where I managed a CO in Sterling, VA, as well as designed internal web applications for them....

However, Friday, I told them I will be leaving on March 1st to pursue my two businesses. With that said...

I am the President and CEO of Technotic Media Inc. I do much of the editing, web site design, graphic design, accouting, and pretty much have my hands in everything, like any CEO should

I also own a small hosting company, True Negative LLC. Currently, its ramping up, and hopefully it'll keep growing. Probably will be looking for a partner in the near future.

This is a big step for me and its very stressful and very scary haha

Wow, thats definitely a big step. Hopefully everything works out for ya.

Anyway, I am a Systems Engineer at Lockheed Martin Systems Integration. Right now I am the technical lead for integrating the Hellfire missile (which is a missile designed for helicopters, mainly Apache's) with the A-10 aircraft, affectionately know as the WartHog. We will be flight testing it hopefully June of this year. The other project that I am working on and starting to assume lead role is being able to successfully demonstrate a new form of broadband communication to allow the A-10 to send pictures, video and other data over a high speed connection.

I'm the dedicated asshole at your local gas station, working on the degree at managerial accounting. Also just started my own business on the side - MeanDesigns, and have another project going, with the help of Mike and his web skills and his business.

Expect a new sponsor, as soon as the site is done

I work at Cisco Systems, telling engineers what works and what doesn't when putting together a solution or upgrade.

I'm current merging over to building an engineering shop for prototyping work for new products before they go in to production.
