LAST DAY AT YAHOO!

Today is my last day at Yahoo!. Though I will miss some of the great perks such as Hack Day, Tech Talks, F2E Parties, and an endless supply of caffeine, what I will miss most is the quality people I had the chance to work with, become friends with, and learn so much from.

I first started at Yahoo! nearly 6 years ago as a contractor working for the web hosting team. Eventually I moved on to doing web development for the data team. I was always impressed by the things people were doing here to push the envelope of what can be done in a web browser. I have been really lucky to work with some of these amazingly talented people. I can’t think of a better place to hone one’s web development chops than Y!.

Anyone who knows me is aware of my passion for all things music. I wasn’t really looking for a new job, but the opportunity came up to get involved with a company that will change how artists market their music to fans. This company is Topspin Media, and I am very excited about the potential of this new opportunity. I will post more about the new gig in a future post.

In the meantime, I will take a much needed vacation before the new job. Cheers to all my friends and colleagues at Yahoo!. I will miss you all.
