So, something funny came from my duck-based engagement - I now have real stats for my infra that I can use for positions looking for cloud/infra/distributed engineers, something like 3k of you clicked on my silly duck site which runs on my actual k8s infrastructure that I created and now I can use that as metrics for it. That was not the intent, but I actually appreciate ya'll for accidentally providing me real(simulated) engagement. You're the best. I'll leave it up for duck based enjoyment. Thanks, lol

Going to sign out of tumblr for a bit probably, won't be on much if at all. Gotta focus on my Kubernetes exam prep.

Hiya! 💗

Your bio said you're a Software/Cloud Engineer! First of all, that's really cool! 2nd, I'm trying to get into Cloud stuff (cause of my Dad really lol)!

But the main question I wanted to ask you is why did you want to become a Software/Cloud Engineer?

Bonus questions: Do you like it? 👀💗

Thank you and have a nice day! ☀️

Hello! Thanks for the ask, it's a good one 😊

To answer your question: I never intended to be in this line of work, I kind of fell into it. My educational background is in Physics, Math, and a graduate degree in Atmospheric Science. While job hunting I came across the position I currently am in, and I was hired because I had a scientific background (I work primarily with scientisits and science educators) and had demonstrated the ability to do some computer science-y things: I'd done some programming in the past, already knew my way around a Linux system, and if I didn't know something, I knew how to read the friendly manual :) I'd never done anything quite like cloud engineering, so I've learned everything I do know about it while on the job and with guidance from my team lead.

My job mainly consists of working on a public cloud running OpenStack. I do things like deploying services needed by our core community (some developed in house by other software engineers at my job) and helping maintain container images. You might imagine that this involves a lot of Docker and Kubernetes, and you'd be right.

Bonus question: I do like it! Without giving to much info away, I work at a non-profit, National Science Foundation (I live/work in the US btw) funded institution. This kind of ties into the first question, but I applied for this job because it's what I like to call "science adjacent," i.e. I work around and with scientists without the pressure from having to work in academia. It also pays the bills and helps me stab E into my body every week, so that's the main draw ;D

Feel free to ask more questions if you'd like me to elaborate on something, and thanks again for the chance to talk about myself hehe.
