I started a new job back in July and it is a job that I enjoy. I get to wear several hats. My official job titles are Principal DevSecOps Engineer and Head of Cybersecurity. That’s my bruce wayne job. Also back in July I was recruited to work for a gov contractor. This is my batman job. I’m the only non-military, non-intelligence guy on the team. It’s kind of funny to listen to them talk during meetings. Heavy military and intel lingo at times. For various reasons I can’t share the name of the company, but I’ve come to refer to them as the Secret Squirrel Society and I work on the Secret Squirrel Project. I’m sure some of them would be pissed if they knew that, but I think it’s funny and mean it in a fun-spirited way, not in a negative way. anyway.. I can’t say what the project is or involves. I went from junior team member assisting the lead dev as a favor to one of the founders to being the led dev in about 2 months. I’ve rewritten the backend api from scratch and I wrote a custom ui (actually I’ve written 4 completely separate ui’s from scratch – the other 3 are abandoned now in favor of my current one.) Now I have a tiny glimpse into understanding why bruce wayne stopped being batman after working two full-time jobs – not to mention all the damage he did to his body being a superhero!
*cough*unrelated*cough* go watch the movies eagle eye (2008) and dark knight (2008) if you haven’t seen them already. Some pretty cool things in those movies involving cameras and AI. Just say’n…
