[Pumping Station: One](https://www.pumpingstationone.org) is a hackerspace in Chicago with over 700+ members. I currently fill the role of [CTO](https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/wiki/Board-Appointed_Officers#CTO), otherwise known as "Chief Technology Officer" or "the person you go to when the computer is misbehaving". I was elected to CTO on the board consecutively between 2018-2020 and in 2020 a bylaws update came into effect converting me to an appointed officer serving the board.
