This is my second migration on Mastodon, so I think an Introduction might be in order. I'm moving in to this account (that had lived independently, to test some of Mathstodon features) after astrodon.social is being sunset. Hope that Astrodon as a concept still lives!

I currently work in Systems Engineering for radio telescopes (in particular, the ALMA radio interferometer). I’ve also worked in software development and management for the SKAO observatory, and for the archive department at ESO. Of course, I'm also very interested in math (specially that having to do with system theory), so I'll try to get a bit stronger there.

Glad to see you all around!

#Fedihired

I'm still looking. I'm still at the #VA but I've lost: 2 data engineers, 1 system engineer, 1 cybersecurity engineer, my contracting manager (last friday, no notice) and our director just announced retirement.

I've been applying everywhere for relevant roles. Even in 2021, I had a reply response of around 20:1 . Now, ive put in probably 200. I've got nothing. (well, thats not true. weapons manufacture keeps pinging. no way no how)

Im looking for #cloud #systemsengineering #sitereliabilityengineering #cybersecurity #systemarchitect

DM and I'd be happy to send my resume or apply at a role you suggest.

Aside: stuff like this is why I think I'm in this situation. Basically, fake/AI resumes are drowning the market. cnbc.com/2025/04/08/fake-job-s

I saw this on HN this morning. And it seems terrible for everyone affected, well, except for the fake/AI users with batch apply scripts. Also explains LinkedIN jobs "submitted 1h ago, over 100 applied". news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

CNBCFake job seekers are flooding U.S. companies that are hiring for remote positions, tech CEOs sayCompanies have long faced external attacks from hackers. Now, thanks to generative AI, another threat has emerged: Employees who aren't who they say they are.

Compendium of Nancy Leveson: STAMP, STPA, CAST and Systems Thinking

Although I don’t often mention or post about Leveson’s work, she’s probably been the most influential thinker on my approach after Barry Turner.

So here is a mini-compendium covering some of Leveson’s work.
