#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.

An upset plot consisting of a dot matrix combined with bar charts. This allows the user to show relationships similar to a venn diagram, but across many categories. In this case, it shows in descending size, which state or state combinations have the most licensees.

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.

a stacked bar chart, number of active licenses determines the color, the bar is the "age" -> year licensed, and height of the bars is the number of people that fall in that bucket.

#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 🤔

Unoccupied floor of a mass timber building under construction. Deep glulam beams with nice chases between the panels to hide the sprinkler system

Buckling restrained braced frames for seismic design

Exterior of the very fancy mass timber building. You can bet that no structural engineering firm can afford the rent for this place.

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.

@PabloMartinPi haha 😂 all mobilised and housed by a feat of Engineering #structuralengineer

#Introduction

I'm a #GenX living in the #Boise #Idaho area. I'm married with 2 daughters.

Professionally, I work as a #StructuralEngineer with over 20 years of experience in the profession. For fun, I play #WaterPolo with a local rec team.

My interests are:
#News
#Politics
#Humor
#Investing
#Music

I'm migrating over from the bird site & still trying to figure my way around.

A friend that is a former #structuralengineer said she tells people she used to work for a non-profit, which is such a sick burn as it’s a job that

1. Directly benefits society
2. No one really knows about/understands
3. Pays crap
4. Is (overall) not profitable

Moved over to aus.social, so a new #introduction:

Grew up in the northeast USA, now a permanent immigrant to #Melbourne #Australia and proud #rescue #greyhound parent.

My career is as a #structuralengineer, currently developing structural design software, largely in #python, including maintaining some #foss packages on #github.

My interests:
#scifi #fantasy #startrek #starwars #cosmere #commonwealthsaga #boardgames
#outdoors #biking #hiking (#appalachiantrail '14)
#woodworking
#activism #climatechange #humanrights

Long overdue #introduction,

I’m a #structuralengineer and a #software developer. I tried to do both for 5+ years with an emphasis on #structural before deciding it would be a lot better for my career and happiness to focus on the #software.

I’m currently working as a #fullstackengineer. I also do contract work related to #sustainabledesign #embodiedcarbon #sustainability

Other interests:
#dataviz #bridges #emacs #foss #cats #builtenvironment

Previously @recursecenter

Nothing I love more than a #structuralengineer telling me their complex logic in an excel sheet (without any macros) can’t be converted into actual software. https://t.co/1pRzdwQRa5

This is version 0.1 and is a proof of concept but it already comfortably holds 8 kg. The next steps will be to get all the pieces properly aligned and contacting each other at the correct angle. I’ll make a #StructuralEngineer out of her yet.
