So great to see so many IT guys here! I am a "closet" IT guy, hope you can all accept me haha, i've done things such as creating firmware on a particle argon platform for a remote water sensor, hooked up to the cloud pushing results to the blynk app on my phone, when the water level gets low enough it automatically alerts my vendor to come fill the tank (or empty it if its septic), this was FUN!! for my cabin, was sick of looking under the cabin to check the water level.. but now people want to buy it from me...... Also have experience with python and created user interface with touch screen to turn on and off 240V Solid State Relays, 12v relays, lights, etc. Created autonomous customer and business management platform at my current business that uses a series of webhooks, and qr codes, webdesign, databases, and integrations etc. to make the business run like an oiled machine with as little human interaction as possible all over the web, this system automatically lets customers know what is going on with their vehicle, tells each department what to do next, and alerts admin staff when and what to do as well, tells me how much work we have in the shop on the dashboard, kanban boards auto update, it will even auto dispatch sublets to come in and do work, everything autonomous.. all with qr codes, its pretty awesome!!
I would love to just head full time into the IT world, or rather the IOT world, but my family business was handed down to me from my father, and I deeply respect all the work he put into it, and it makes a good living for me and my family. It lets me play with the IT world enough. I didn't like what software people were offering out there, so the motto i have is, build it yourself so you know how to fix it later!, that is why i am here at DIYSOLAR doing a solar house!
