Pretending to be a tradesman 🕵️‍♂️

Being an IT professional lends itself a particular tract of logic shared with other problem solvers, is it any wonder then that some of us love DIY?

In the past year I have expanded my hobbies from just Coding and 3D modelling to:

  • Trains!
  • Woodworking!
  • 3D CAD
  • Maker
  • Gardener / Landscaping

And to the point in question, I join groups on Facebook and use my skills from each to maximum effect, coding calculators for trains, functions for solving woodworking, 3D gardening designs etc, but then talking to the pros I'm a little embarrassed to say I'm actually a developer, I even have a tradesman coat when I go shopping so I look more the part, it's my ForgeRock (where I work) coat, but to most people it's a brick layit company for example 😂

I guess as an engineer I'm also pretending
