Good bye to the Web21c Team

As the local tradition dictates I should start with…

So… Right… As some of you might already know I decided to look for new challenges and I will be leaving my current employer BT and the great Web21c SDK Team very soon. The last 2 and a half years was an awesome time from professional and personal point of view. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you that I had a pleasure to work with and just mention some names (without any particular order):

George, T3, DJ (Profile where everything started!), Uros, Adrrrrian, Rags (I really enjoyed working with you guys on Aloha and SIP stuff), Josh, Gabby (You Are Great! Thank you for polluting me with your XSLT and SDK virus), Pawel, Leanne, T4, Alkesh (80 is not that big number :), The Denver Crew: Dustin, Andy, Hap, Jack, Ken (professional, open, helpful, it was always good to work with you regardless of the thousands of miles distance and different timezones), Paul D., T1 (always an inspiration), Nathan, JT, Milan (planning sessions and snowboarding without you would not be the same), Priyesh, Otu, Robbie, Nigel, Yannis, Fab, Kerry, Joe D, David D., Eastmad, Nauman, Dan, Paul M. and Shabeer.

I would like to thank as well Joe B, El. K, Dirk and Rory for making the Web21c initiative happen. It was good to see how the successful agile team can be created from scratch in a massive organization. Impressive.

So… Right… That is time of changes for me however. This was not an easy decision to make, on my part, but I decided to leave that Eldorado and change job as I was looking for a new problem domain and new ways of stimulating my professional development. I am moving to financial services industry and will work for IG Index couple of minutes from Baynard on the other side of the river.

I will be hosting some farewell drinks on Thursday 6pm, Booksellers. I hope to see you all there.

So… Right… Maintain the SDK Team spirit, don’t let the table football and xbox get rusty! Keep motivated, keep focused, deliver and innovate wherever and however you can. I do hope our paths cross again in the future.
