I am really pleased to be able to post that I am soon to be a Noogler.
I am taking up a new position with Google’s Open Source program, and will be working with a growing open source community.
This is exciting to me as I love developers, and I have a passion for community. Being able to help out developers is going to be a dream.
It is interesting to accept this position at this time of year, as one of my tasks will be helping to see useful code and products within Google, and open sourcing that work for the world at large to use. That feels very much like being Santa to me!
I will be leaving a fantastic company in Seeking Alpha, and will truly miss working with Rob Sanheim and Jim Halberg.
If you want to work on a great Rails platform that needs to scale, maybe you want to give them a ping.
