Hi, I'm looking for an entry level/junior/apprenticeship job since I'm fresh out of college (BS in computer engineering). I am currently in the southeastern united states, but I would be more than willing to move somewhere else (especially either to the north or to Europe) for a job. Remote is also fine.

In terms of computer-y things, the stuff I enjoy doing the most includes:

• Updating legacy codebases to be Good and Modern. Removing cruft, changing languages, whatever it may be. It's my zen.
• Wrangling automation/build systems or making tools to automate things/make things easier.
• Designing hardware with HDLs (VHDL or spade; I don't know verilog directly)
• Embedded development (currently, mainly in C and/or assembly)
• "General *nix server upkeep". I help a friend host their website + some game servers on their linux laptop. Includes networking & sysadmining. I helped with IT at my college during my learning, so I have ~2 years of hands-on IT work.
• Developing open source software. A living list of languages I have used can be found on my website, and I am generally quick at learning new ones. That page also includes my forgejo (where my projects are) and my github (where I contribute to other projects)
• Reverse engineering/documenting things.

Outside of strictly computer-y things, I would also be fine with:

• Archiving/cataloging work (e.g. library/museum)
• Electrician work (apprenticeship needed)

I would prefer to work at either an established company or the public sector. Preferably not an evil one too. Preferably European companies, with an eventual desire to move to Europe, but I'll take anything I can get.

I can provide more details in private/on an actual listing.

Finally found proof that not everything sounds better in french.

Get absolutely f*cked, Alex.

You are absolutely right! I should not have injured a human being or, through inaction, allowed a human being to come to harm!

Officially back to work today, which mostly means that I have to pay attention to the unfun email now, too.

I'd like to coin a new term: cleptofascism. I think it best describes the current political system and it will fail very badly in the end.

I've branched out into dog collars. Currently being tested out by real dog owners.

(This is all for a scouts fundraiser sale in November.)

I've been answering email all morning, but I now have more unread messages than when I started. How does that even work?

Back in the steamy hot pot of the East Coast.

Oblig. selfie with the tree lichen.

I set up @monsieuricon for my photos, just so I don't pollute your feed. :) Feel free to follow, should be fairly light in content.

OH:

- What does "EBITDA" mean?

- "Earnings Before Iran, Tariffs, and Donald Announcements".
