Changing Jobs, Changing Regions
My last day working for SRA will be Friday, November 4, 2005! I've accepted a Senior Software Engineer position with EMC Documentum in Pleasanton, CA. This means we'll be relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area soon. My first day of work is November 14, and I'm excited about having a week off to unwind.
I'll be working on the core of the Documentum product. This means doing lots of Java development with technologies I've come to love: J2EE, XML, Web Services, etc. I'm also excited about the opportunity to work on a commercial product. It will likely differ from my previous work on projects covered under a low-risk government contract. It has been difficult to embrace change while working in an environment that opposes anything new and uncertain. I'm thrilled about the significance of this change in direction!
