It’s public now that as of the 15th of May I’ve resigned from the position of Senior Consultant in Readify.

I’ve worked with some of the best minds in the industry from Darren, Mitch, PaulG and PaulS (who is still Temporarily Offline), Philip, Damian, Tatham, Francois (who’s now enjoying his trip around the world), Aymeric and lots, lots more.

I’ve worked with some great people from outside Readify like Tom Hollander, Rocky Heckman, Bruce McLeod, to mention only a few..

I think this was the best, coolest and most enjoyable job I’ve ever had, with involvement in various projects from fixing simple (sometimes crappy) VB.Net apps to technical lead of large projects, performance reviews and improvements, security reviews and guidance, threat modelling new or existing systems, architecture and design of new systems, architecture reviews, complete or partial refactoring and rewrites of applications, mentoring, guidance, training, talking, presenting or attending loads of conferences, whinging, crying (not really) and contesting or challenging technical decisions (most of the times offering alternatives), building awesome relationships with my teams and my customers (oh, well, at least that’s what I believe I did )

Even more I also received an MVP award in Development Security.

I’ve loved my position and the people I’ve been working with.

But now it’s time to move on to a new challenge and a new role. I’ve accepted a new role as a (full-time) Solutions Architect and 2IC with Class Financial Systems. More or less I’m going back into financial systems where most of my background and experience was before I’ve joined Readify.

I’ll have a great new set of challenges from leading a new team to delivering a new project from zero to hero (or great success). I kind of started to forget what it means to be part of a project form end to end. I’ll also try to use this opportunity to learn, apply, present and (cross-fingers) be approved as a Microsoft Certified Architect: Solutions.

I truly hope I’ll keep in good contact with all Readify, Microsoft, friends and partners and I hope to see most of you at user groups, TechEd, CodeCamp, MVP Summit and other conferences.
