#14I work for a small company in Kailua building real estate websites. The tech community here is small but super fun! What's your skillset? Hit me up - kevin at realgeeks dot com
I have a software engineering shop in Hawaii called Slickage and we're a team of 6. There are a few other shops in the area. Yes, the Bay Area does have better pay but we're trying. What up @kevin1024!

Still hacking on pet projects.

#17I gave up on the local market pretty early, at least for Linux work. I work 100% remotely now from Kapolei (just west of Honolulu) for a company on the mainland.

#19I know of 2 ex-coworkers who live{d} on Oahu while working full time for a tech shop. It was possible only because they were able to get full time remote positions at employers based out of California.
