Another year older, and other changes.
I’ve told many people in person, but a week ago today I gave my two week notice that I’ll be leaving National Instruments. I’ll miss NI as I’ve had a very good time these past four years there. I have learned a lot about programming, but I have learned even more about business and I look forward to learning even more at my new job.
Later this month I’ll be starting as a Senior Java Developer at Bazaarvoice, a small startup in the advertising industry. They are headquartered here in Austin. Actually their current office is even closer to my house than NI is. I’m excited about the opportunities. I’ll be getting to learn several new technology stacks to go along with Java, specificially Spring and Hibernate. Additionally, I’ll be working with several programmers who are clearly very skilled and practiced, and I have a lot I feel I can learn from them. Additionally, I have several friends who are already working at Bazaarvoice, and it will be very fun to reconnect with them in this new environment.
