What do you do Nordlead?

I'm a software engineer for a government defense contractor. I help build and test devices that save soldiers lives.

Wow that sounds really cool.

It is really cool. Just the other day we got to see a video and picture report of how the devices I'm currently working on saved lives over in Iraq and Afganastan. We also got to see quite a few explosions too

I used to do the exact same thing. I worked for 7 years for CSC, contracted to the Air Force Research Laboratory, Weapons Safety Center, and Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center.

Now I work in private industry, making a lot more money, but less rewarding then saving people’s lives (I worked on a project that was deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan that reduced the number of deaths due to road side bombs, specifically IED’s)
