I’m Java programmer for a bank in the Raleigh, NC area. I’ve been in tech one way or another since the early 80s, several years of IC and board design, switched to software, been programming in Java pretty much since it existed. Got involved with the RepRap project early on (2006-ish?). Kinda lost touch after a while. Spent some time pursuing other interests (weird maker projects, wrote some SFF books, etc). Recently decided I needed a 3D printer again (hadn’t had one since the Darwin prototype).
