I’m on my way to the Bay Area today and on Wednesday I start my new job operating weather balloons around the globe at Windborne Systems!
I’m extremely excited to be working to improve upper level weather data! I did some work with balloons in college and it was honestly my favorite part of my college experience.

@ingalls@mstdn.ca Oooh, you'll have REAL balloons, none of the party-balloon-with-random-stuff soldered on it I'm working on! Fun!

@ingalls@mstdn.ca I know a guy who worked in the Google Loon group (balloons for providing internet). He said he loved the work. Good luck and welcome to the Bay!

@ingalls@mstdn.ca welcome! I heard there was a tethered weather balloon over Moffett Field the other day. Maybe from Windborne Systems?
