I am a guy, mid-late 30s, been working in tech (finance) for around 20 years, and seemed to be on a good track, but I feel like I have plateaued and had a rough time the last year or two. I am open-minded, and looking for next steps, either to get into some employment niche (devops? Rust? q/kdb/kerf?) that works better than my current job, and/or try to work on my own projects / business ideas.
I am an active developer in C++, C, Python, Java presently (also Perl, JavaScript, Clojure, PHP, Fortran, build systems, Linux). I was heavily influenced by the Linux / open source tradition, and did some open source contributions, conferences and the like a long time ago, that's something I would like to get back to.
I am interested in some networking / mentoring with people with similar (or even better, more experience), preferably in NYC or nearby. Naturally, I am willing to extend the same offer of networking / mentoring to anyone less experienced that feels they could benefit from another perspective.
