On joining Readify

Tuesday, May 05 2009

This post is a little late in coming, mainly because it seems every third post here is about me in a new job!

In November of last year I was chatting with Paul Stovell about what I was up to (nothing overly interesting) and he suggested I have a conversation with Readify. It didn’t seem like a bad option at the time and we did start talking. That conversation took a while, but the end result is that at the end of March I joined Readify as a senior consultant.

After my first week of induction things and some preparation for a client engagement, I’ve been pretty much head down working in the development team at one of our clients. It’s been quite a while since I was hands on with so much code, and it’s been an interesting experience. It’s quite amazing to be in the (oftentimes virtual) company of so many smart people.

I’ve not really carved out my little niche in the land of Readify yet, but give me some time, I have some ideas.

Of course, now I’ve said that I feel like I should go put some disclaimers on my blog. But it should be clear, anything I say here is my opinion only, and doesn’t necessarily reflect the views of my employer or any other entity (or even me sometimes, 10 minutes after I’ve posted it!).
