Leaving Seesmic

I started at Seesmic a little over a year ago , and it's been great helping the platform grow from a full-page Flash app prototype to an Ajaxy Web app backed by a solid REST API.

There is a time for every purpose under the sun , and now it's time for me to be moving on to other projects better aligned with my personal career goals.

I'm really proud of the work I did at Seesmic, and some of the early technology choices we made ( particularly Merb ) have proven to be excellent bets.

I also feel extremely fortunate in the great people I've gotten to work with there, and owe Loic a huge debt of gratitude for that opportunity. I remain a Seesmic shareholder, and a big believer in what they're trying to do with the platform. I look forward to seeing where they take it.

Not sure what's ahead for me yet -- I have just started my job search, but I will be blogging (and microblogging) about the process as it unfolds.
