I am a Portland State University graduate in computer science trapped in 
Rochester, Minnesota without work.

I've been in this situation for six months now and am facing the end of 
unemployment benefits.

Searching for work in Portland remotely, hard. Ironically, I live next to one 
of the biggest IBM facilities in the world and it is a ghost town.

I know C and C++, I worked with Raspberry Pi's running Raspbian, I am wanting 
to increase my certifiable skills in Linux, and I have exposure to more
things than I am good at including Ansible, git, Python, Perl, bash, etcetera. 
Studying for a test on Javascript, CSS3, and HTML5 Saturday.

Unfortunately, I was let go of from my job at Apex in under a year, worked 
there for seven months. It was an impossible situation for me, code that was 
engineered to not make sense to anyone else. That said, I got a framebuffer 
system converted to an X Windows system and it displayed somewhat well. Because 
of concurrency problems and hidden algorithms, I never got the system working 
the way it should be. I'd love to work somewhere else in precision 
manufacturing utilizing embedded Linux.

Meanwhile, I have been trying to convert a rack running a web site in Scappoose 
to a hosted site at Eskimo North. Some success, but I don't understand systemd 
well enough to make a stock CentOS 7 run a custom compiled Apache and PHP. I 
really need professional training in CentOS/Redhat Enterprise Linux to 
complement my Linux Professional Institute Level 1 certification. I've grown up 
on Redhat, but I don't understand it anymore.
