 TOM:

Whatever job you are at; I don't know -- But your work sounds very cool.
Have you ever seen IBM XIV? http://xivstorage.com

*I’m building the Hadoop cluster, storage and serving layers from scratch,
everything from design to deployment, and much of the code that runs on it.*
*Lots and lots of data, and using Hadoop to process image data is
largely-uncharted water at this point.*
*Lots of code to be written - in addition to the above, I’m helping out the
flight software team in building the encoder that converts the human
readable command manifest into the bits that get radiated to the satellite.*
*This industry is completely new to me, which makes it fun and interesting.
I know nothing about space, aeronautics or mechanical engineering. They’ve
already let me have at it with some of the tools (they obviously don’t know
me too well) and I haven’t hurt anyone yet. *
