Captivated by WordPress development during his architecture studies, Giuseppe couldn't escape the web dev industry for the next two decades.

WP expert and eager open source contributor, he used to say he spoke PHP better than English.

Despite his undiminished interest in software development and architecture, his job has lately been more about engineering leadership and strategy than code.

These days, he's struggling more with the "socio-" part of his socio-technical job.

Hey. Hey guess what. Guess what day it is? It's our birthday, and the Vagina Museum is nine years old today. The world has changed massively in those nine years. We started out with a tweet... and now we're a vibrant community space, dedicated to education and celebration!

If anyone is hiring or knows of someone who is hiring remotely in the UK or locally in NI for an astrophysics PhD who is cracking with Python, knows a bit of SQL and cloud computing, is experienced in both data analysis and software development, and is ALSO uncannily quick to learn new things, then hit me up.

ETA: Just to be clear: I'm not looking for astrophysics jobs. My experience in astro was largely in big data wrangling and software dev so that's what I'm after now!

Yes, but read-only (research, analysis etc.).
Yes, read & write (but I check every line of code)
Yes, I vibe code (YOLO, if it seems to work)
