A New Start

The last year has been a fun one. I moved to California and began working as an engineer at Mahalo.com. A huge opportunity! During this last year, I’ve had the luxury of working with a series of great engineers as well as some of the most interesting new technologies in the web space. We were lucky enough to solve really interesting problems in scalability and efficiency and were able to constantly push out new products and features, almost on a bi-weekly basis.

It was a very exciting time in my life, and now, an even more exciting time exists.

I was recently given an opportunity to work with another great bunch of developers and right here in Santa Monica, barely a mile away from where I live. It is an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. It has been made pretty clear from the various news outlets that my exit from Mahalo wasn’t on the best of terms, but I’d like to come out and say, that although it was a little rough, I wish all the best for Mahalo and it’s staff and I can’t thank them enough for such a great opportunity and learning experience. I will miss all the good times we had there, even if they were being had at 3am when product launch had gone awry. You guys are great.

But, I’m excited to be joining Yahoo! where I’ll be working mainly on Yahoo! Sports as a front end engineer. I’m pretty pumped to take on a role centered around UI engineering at a major internet company that just happens to own the largest sports site in the world. Here, I will hope to help inspire inovation, learn as much as possible from those around me, and build as many beautiful UIs as humanly possible.

I’m feeling pretty darn lucky right about now.

Cheers.
