A seasoned pro from the golden age of drafting tables and floppy disks.
The Boomer Engineer is a master of analog solutions navigating a digital world.
Often seen squinting at a touchscreen or asking, "So... what is the cloud, exactly?".
They bring decades of experience—and a healthy dose of skepticism—to every tech update.
May require a millennial translator for anything involving AI, apps, or acronyms longer than three letters.

Hey look, buddy, I'm an Engineer. That means I solve problems.
Not problems like "What is beauty?", because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.
I solve practical problems.

Built by me
...and you'd best hope not pointed at you.
