We're super psyched to add another engineer to the team. And we liked Joe so much that we moved him out from the tropics of Minnesota. I sat down with the man of hour on the couch next to the kitchen for a coffee klatsch.
Previous job: Developed tools for supporting and utilizing a massive data warehouse at SuperValu, a grocery retailer and distributor.
Best job: Software engineering intern at MTS Systems, got to tackle challenging problems on software for aeronautical structural testing and vehicle durability testing.
Worst job: I've been lucky, never had too bad of a job, although retail at a big box store would be the worst of what I've done.
Favorite TV Show on Premium Cable Network: "Don't really have one," he says though I don't really believe him.
Guilty pleasure website: Hacker News
