Asklemmy

Tech background, but never worked with it.

I'm a plumber now, used to design trusses for houses.

I do music, photography/videography, strength training, student too, but it started by being into tech (still am), it's helped for doing music/photography greatly.

I am not a geek.

I'm currently an attorney but in another life I worked help desk in the military.

University student. Doing business. Not that tech savvy. I will learn some programing languages because finding a job(a good one) gets harder and harder every year.

I'm a CPA and not highly skilled in computer stuff. The fact that I managed to join Lemmy, set up Jerboa and actually participate means that almost anyone can do it

Non-tech background, currently a undergrad student, but formally trained office worker for secretary and business matters.

I’m an administrator so I work with MS Office but that is about it as far tech. I did dabble a bit in high school and college with some basic computer programming but that was ages ago and things have vastly changed since then.

Non tech. Designer.

I'm a programmer but I don't think there is a high bar of entry here, maybe with so many options to choose from maybe

I am civil servent and from non technical background

I work as a city planner. I have an interest in tech and use some programs for work like Adobe suites, sketchup, minor GIS. Currently trying to motivate myself to learn GIS better but it's hard to sit down and start.

Sort of non-tech. Working as an RF Engineer with my Physics degree

Work in a chemical factory making soap. I'm a supervisor for a night shift. Been working factory since high school.

Arts admin. But I live and grew up in Silicon Valley; my dad worked in tech although he wasn’t an engineer, so we always had fairly up-to-date tech and I’m pretty comfortable with it. But when my husband (software engineer) and I watch Linus Tech Tips, most of it goes over my head. I adopted Lemmy during the Reddit blackout before he did (and funny enough, I also switched to Reddit during the Digg fiasco before he did, too).

I would certainly characterize myself as a tech-enthusiast rather than from a technical background. I have a Chemistry degree and work in a tangentially related field (Brewing industry) though mainly on the sales/retail side rather than production. I don't code but it's certainly something I am interested in. I've set up a Pi-hole on my home network and have a small Plex-Server streaming downloaded media (as I try in vain to disentangle myself from the myriad of streaming services that exist).

Not technically in tech, I'm an oceanographer but work with numerical modeling so ehhhhh

I'm far from a technical background. I make storyboards and concepts for ads and animations. Mostly related to graphics and illustration. Sort of a digital art director.

At the same time I do all my work on a tablet + computer and am a huge tech enthusiast.

I work in healthcare but have always been interested in tech, but not professionally.

Human troubleshooting (I'm a therapist). My dad is an engineer who always built his own PCs and gave me a pretty solid foundation for the software side of things, as well as basic car knowledge. Haven't kept up on that in a while but I'm Tier 1 tech support for my parents (my brother is Tier 2) 😂
