I have accepted a position at UCLICK as a software engineer. They are a digital content provider and syndication company that specializes in both the online and mobile device spaces. They are a Linux and Open Source shop that has been transitioning to Ruby over the last couple years moving from Apache/mod_perl to Ruby on Rails. I will be working with some very smart people that are passionate about technology and the work that they do.
Anyone who knows me will know that this is as much about coming back as it is moving on. I was one of the founding members of the company back in 1999 as we tried to establish ourselves during the dotcom boom. I designed and built much of the infrastructure that allowed the company to grow it’s online traffic. My roll has changed and I will be focused more on development rather than the network and systems. I’m excited to be working in an Open Source shop again and I’m looking forward to helping the company grow and enhance it’s product line.
