^QSIF — View all Fitter sailors from India

Part of the ^QS Sailors registry — the Zulu Code maritime human-capital index.

What ^QSIF18211024 means

^QSIF18211024 is a Zulu Code person identifier, read one letter at a time. The leading ^Q places it in the Human Capital & Services system, and QS is the Sailors registry inside it: every seafarer and shore professional on Zulu Code sits under ^QS.

The third letter, I, is the country: India. The fourth letter, F, is the rank: Fitter. So ^QSIF is the node for every Fitter from India, and this page is one member of it.

The trailing digits 18211024 are a placeholder. Zulu Code normally encodes the holder's date of birth as YYYYMMDD so that members of a node sort by age, but this account was issued before a date of birth was recorded. When the holder adds one, the code is re-issued with the real digits.

About the Fitter rank

The Fitter is a skilled engine-room rating carrying out mechanical repair, welding, machining and pipework under the engineers' direction. Fitters are central to on-board maintenance where no shore workshop is available.

Sea-going ranks occupy the letters A to T of the ^QS registry; shore ranks such as Technical Superintendent and Purchase Manager sit at U to Z, so a career that moves from ship to office stays inside the same registry.

35 people hold a Fitter code from India on Zulu Code. The parent node ^QSIF lists all of them.

How verification works

A Zulu Code is a verifiable credential, not a public profile. Without the holder's 4-digit PIN this page shows only what the code itself encodes: registry, country, rank and the encoded date. With the PIN, the same page unlocks the holder's name, contact details, ZULU-verified rating and the ZULUCODE standard resume.

That is why ^QSIF18211024 is safe to print on a CV or a business card: a recruiter who has been given the PIN sees a verified record, and anyone else sees a code. The PIN can be changed by the holder at any time, which revokes every earlier link.
