Software Release Manager / Quality Assurance Manager / Technical Operations Manager
My helmet is just one of the many hats I wear. The software company I work for produces a software service for the major oil companies. We reap their data and then resell it. If this sounds at all glamorous to any of you then I've described things incorrectly.

I am a musician.
Mostly studio now.
Taught Martial arts on the side for a long time but injuries forced me to look for safer activities.

Bike mechanic. I think it's only worth the crappy pay if you work in a cool location with great people, or work for yourself. When it's stressful and there is nowhere nearby to do anything besides ride a bike it's just another terrible job. Lots of ****ty hybrids and weird people.

I work in the office of a clothing retailer. The first question out of everyone's mouth when they hear where I work is "Ooh, designer?" but my job mostly involves Excel and absolutely zero design (which is fine by me). I can pivot your data like a mofo.

Structural Engineer (licensed) - Large scale / mixed use projects mostly. Get to ride 9 miles to and from work everyday so that is a big perk.

For photographic applications?
Sweet. I don't know anything about that and find it interesting. Could you explain?
Feel free to pm me if you have any work-related questions. I started a small (<50k/year), but budding analytical services portion of the company, where we offer QC to outside companies.

Lol, I think I already post in C&V and the Road forums on this. But I'm a project manager in electrical engineering.
Tried to look as smug as possible.

Telecom contractor. It helps support my downward spiral of a bike habit.

Bike mechanic, not much pay but great deals on purchasing. I am proud of what I do. Get to ride through the front door and park my bike indoors without any second thoughts.

I work in a bike/outdoor shop. I also occasionally do freelance graphic design.
I eventually want to open my own shop and maybe build a few custom frames here and there.
