What's your day job?

2000-2006: Worked for SVG/ASML at an Intel fab. We do the lithography which means we print the circuit pattern on the silicon. It's a machine the size of a bathroom full of robots, lasers, optics, etc. Here's a marketing line: we make the machines that make the chips that make the devices that make our lives better... Intel touts moores law which we make true...

2006-2011: high school teacher for physics and math. Traded all free time for education. Heard of something called FIRST, and gave up the other? free time for that.

2012: back with ASML at an Atmel fab. They make chips for HTC and some samsung touchscreens and also microprocessors for arduinos, toasters, and such. Still give my (now larger) free time to FIRST.
