Well….I guess it was time. My last day at Microsoft was November 30th. Over 6 years working with the BizTalk team…..I’m a little sad to go. I really loved the BizTalk development world so this was a hard decision for me. Between working on customer projects, creating the Virtual Technical Specialist program, driving the business, conducting my training classes, and building the Microsoft ESB Guidance……I guess I kept myself pretty busy. However, everyone has to think about growth…..and I’m no different I guess. I worked with a lot of really smart people, Jean-Emile, Lee Graber, David Stucki, Kartik, John Taylor.well the list goes on. I’m going to miss everyone. However, I’ll continue to develop ESB technologies in my new role at Neudesic.
I’ve joined their Neuron team to lead up development. If you haven’t heard, Neuron is a pure WCF based ESB, the brain child of David Pallman, also formally of Microsoft’s WCF product team. I’m pretty excited about it. We really have an opportunity to solve a lot of real world problems in short order. I’ve worked with Neudesic for almost 6 years while at Microsoft. They really have an amazing talent pool. It was certainly one of the things that compelled me to accept the role. Lots of smart people to work with! I’m looking forward to that. They probably have more experience building and solving these integration problems then most SIsconsidering they were one my go to partners for the last 6 years for BizTalk related work. We’ll tap into all that solution experience to develop Neuron into a world class ESB.
Who knows.maybe I’ll actually start blogging J
Cheers!
