I work for a company that develops and manufactures data interconnect. What this means is we make very high speed cards and routers (~40 Gbits/s) for server farms and super computers. Like what you got behind your Gmail or Facebook.
I'm a firmware engineer. Means I write software code that runs on our card and tries to fix whatever the HW guys fucked up.
Hmmm... I dunno. I'd like to be a novelist someday. Or maybe just diverge into other fields of software.
