Welp, six and a half months later, my employer is being shut down as part of the parent company’s bankruptcy. I’m not entirely sure what’s next for me, but at least the stress of all this is over

I do have some ideas as to what’s next for me, but I don’t have the pieces in place yet. In the interim, I’m looking for *part-time* contracting / consulting work
I’ve been employed as a software engineer for 16 years, and have worked in over 20 languages, with the most breadth of experience in Go, Clojure, and SQL
though what I’m really good at is things involving human interaction design, semantics, statistics, and helping people understand or act on complex data

UPDATE: The stress of it all is NOT over, in fact it just got exponentially worse. I shouldn’t talk about it publicly, but I could really use some emotional support from friends and colleagues right now.
