Life is in transition for me now. Two weeks ago, we got to bring our
handsome baby boy home, and I haven't been sleeping much since (though more
than Jen). On top of the sleep deprivation, however, comes more exciting
news: I've been hired as a PHP Developer by Zend Technologies!
I was approached by Daniel Kushner in late July regarding another position
at Zend, and was flown out at the beginning of August. While I felt the
interview went well, I harbored some doubts; work got fairly busy shortly
thereafter, and then, of course, Liam was born, and the interview went
completely out of my head. Until about three days after Liam's birthday,
when Daniel contacted me again about the PHP Developer position.
Work started yesterday, and I was flown to Zend's offices in Cupertino, CA,
for orientation and to sit down with both Daniel and others to prepare for
the projects on which I will be working. Thankfully, the job will not
require that I move, and I will be working out of the 'home office' in
Vermont when I return later this week.
The decision to leave NGA was
difficult, but the opportunity to work with Zend is just too good to miss. I
am honored to be selected by them, and hope this is the beginning of many
good things to come.
