#Networking #CapitalismKills #Tech #WebDev #UI #UX #FediHire #JobHunt #JobSearch
i've registered for 3 virtual events with #OutInTech centered around #UI / #UX
no idea if anyone from that org is on the #fediverse? or is it some terrible linkedin void to avoid?
but my UX is not going so well for my introductory event
a cloudflare verification infinite loop blocks my way into what may be an interesting –talk– _take_ on USER EXPERIENCE
perhaps by my second or third event, i will find resolution
i'm probably just holding the #Internet wrong
all the best 🌈💻🦄

I guess it's time to make my #introduction -- Hello! I'm Rowan! He/They if you please.
I'm a fat, queer, trans, autistic, neurospicy, tech-loving nerd who's here to make friends, network, and have a good time sharing memes. I originally tried to join tech.lgbt during the Great Exodus from Twitter (RIP) but y'all had your hatches battened down. Happy to join the crowd today!
In general I like to talk about food I'm cooking, my cats, how to live well under/despite capitalism, #UXDesign, #a11y, #DEI and #CustomerSuccess. Right now I'm #OpenToWork and actively on the #JobHunt so keep an eye out for Senior CSM roles! I'm on the leadership team of #OutInTech (a professional networking community on Slack) and trying to keep my head afloat in today's job market.
Hit me up if you wanna talk about #books, #videogames, millennial humor, or what's fun to do in #Seattle. Promise I'm fun when I'm not so stressed out!
Finally starting to get out and meet people and it feels amazing ☺️
Not sure what other #queer #seattle communities are out there, but the folks at #OutInTech have been really welcoming ❤️
What else is out there I'm missing out on?
Had a great time at last night's #OutInTech meetup as part of #ptw2023! Met some great people!
Today in a bit I will be going to the NET/WORK job fair to try to meet more people and ideally get myself a new job. If you are hiring a #fullstack #softwareengineer especially working on #civictech or #geospatial solutions, hit me up! #fedihire
Technology shapes how we work, eat, and love. Human biases are embedded in all innovations — that's a fact. And tech companies are taking notice. Join Out in Tech and BCG Digital Ventures for an all-star panel of LGBTQ+ academics, tech execs, and allies in conversation about inclusive tech ethics, why it's important to get involved, and how tech ethics impact the LGTBQ+ community. Preston Ames (Senior Acct Exec @ Fama: AI Solutions) B Cavello (Senior Engagement Lead, IBM Watson) Ron Clark (Strategic Design Director, BCG Digital Ventures) Christine Meinders (Founder of Feminist.AI) Moderated by: Trish Bendix, Managing Editor, INTO Refreshments served. 21+.
