Worked for a few years as a firmware engineer after undergrad (CS) but decided to get into education. I'm nearing a decade of teaching high school math and computer science in the US and abroad. I picked up another degree along the way (Georgia Tech's OMSCS) to keep my skills sharp. I'm now thinking of making the switch back into tech, preferably something related to education and/or games.
I went for a Master's in Education and became a teacher. Teaching computer science and math so still STEM adjacent. I'm still teaching a decade later and I've moved abroad to teach at international schools, currently in Bangkok.
In Thailand at least, this is due to the high number of motorcycles/scooters. They're far more likely to die in a collision (about 80% of the fatalities are from motorcycles)
About: I am a computer science teacher (6 yrs) looking to return to tech after this school year. Before teaching I worked as a firmware engineer for a little over 2 years. Currently teaching IB Computer Science (SL/HL Y1/Y2), Robotics, Design Technology and Game Programming at the American Embassy School New Delhi. To keep my skills sharp while teaching I completed Georgia Tech's OMSCS program and have been developing side-projects like a Thai language memory game released on the Play Store using React Native. I think I'd be a great fit somewhere working in the education space given my experience.
