#hiring #CivilEngineering #MechanicalEngineering #ResearchAssistant #StructuralEngineer

As #spring is here, it’s time to resume our own form of #EthicalTourism or #EcoToruism (day trips involving travel only by #bike and #PublicTransport – #Trains, in this case). As I’m a #StructuralEngineer, I like seeing interesting #structures and so I picked #Portsmouth. Quite recently, it had a #tower built called the #SpinnakerTower as it resembles a #spinnaker #sail. It is by no means unique, nor is it the tallest, but it’s comfortably within a day trip’s distance of us.

Long post...

Didn't get around to this on Friday, but the last #structuralengineer #dataviz I had planned as a draft for this project was to *finally* do an Upset plot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UpSet_plot)

No frills on this one, but it was fun to figure out how to do this in raw d3 rather than using the library.

Another quick stacked bar chart, less than 10 lines of code with
@observablehq #observableplot

This one looks at for active #structuralengineer licenses, how "old" is the license holder's oldest license, and how many states are they currently actively licensed in.

#introduction

I live near #Boise, #Idaho. #GenX. I have about 27 years of experience working as a #StructuralEngineer designing mostly steel structures, but also have experience designing concrete, masonry, and wood structures.

I volunteer as a local youth #WaterPolo coach and like to play in our local adult rec league.

My interests are #WaterPolo, #Fitness, #CollegeFootball (#BoiseStateUniversity, #UofTexas), and #Music. Some of my favorite listens are #LedZeppelin, #BenHarper, and #Cake.

While it *is* crowd dependent, I’ve found introducing myself as a recovering #structuralengineer is almost guaranteed to get a bunch of laughs.

Went to a panel discussion/site visit for a hybrid mass timber building in LA and coincidentally met quite a number of recovering engineers still engaged in the built environment 🤔

A much overdue #introduction:

I'm a #StructuralEngineer by day, working mostly in #steel and #concrete. I do everything, but a lot more moving #bridges and #canal locks than most. Some #dams. All my stuff is old, so it's mostly about safety and reliability.

Second job: very willing farmhand for @PickwickSheprd, who I think mostly puts up with me because she was crazy enough to marry me. We raise #sheep and she trains #sheepdogs. I fix the old #tractors and help run #fences and #buildings.

#introduction

I am a #StructuralEngineer (California PE) turned #SoftwareDeveloper living in Brooklyn, NY.

I love #bikes, #biketouring, #xbiking, #bikepacking, etc.

I have spent the last three years learning #handtool #woodworking in order to build #chairs

I also #sew my own #clothes.
