With mixed emotions, I have to announce that this week I started a new job with Rockwell Collins as an Enterprise Solutions Architect. My focus will be on SOA, MOSS, TFS, and .NET development. This news came as a shock to many people, but those close to me knew that my family and I had struggled with MCS travel for a while.
July 2nd was my final day as a Microsoft employee. Leaving Microsoft was a VERY tough decision for me, but it was ultimately the right decision for my family. I enjoyed working with the talented individuals at Microsoft over the last 2 years and will miss being part of the Microsoft team. I left the company in great standing, so maybe I'll re-join Microsoft sometime in the future. Of course, I'll probably have to relocate or be ready to transition into a less technical role.
