It's on the profile page, the resume loaded on the profile page, and even in the email address I use. Three chances, and they failed. Not even an offshore recruiter, either, this is someone trying to find a high-level engineer for some LargeCo that requires citizenship.

I'm an electronics tech, and I know some python and C++, what electronics tech these days doesn't? I get calls for senior python developers. So, I know your pain.
