Great news! After months of hard work, all the administrivia has been completed and I am happy to officially announce that I will be starting my new position as a Software Developer Senior Analyst with Accenture starting 8/29. It has been a long road to get here, and I am ecstatic to be joining one of the top technology companies in the world.
Thank you all for your support along the way!

All that work paid off, and I start my new job on Friday! I was hired as the UI Developer for Cliintel, a big data analytics company primarily serving the cable and telecom industries. The company has been around for 15 years and is solid, unlike many of my previous gigs. They already have some impressive tools, my job will be to come in and make them sexy, bringing a new level of design and functionality to their systems.
One of the biggest attractions of the position, apart from the stability of a “real” job at a real company, is the opportunity to work closely with a tight-knit team creating cool stuff. One of the things I loved about most of my previous positions was the ability to work together with teams, bouncing ideas around, getting immediate feedback, coming up with new ideas. The creative process is greatly enhanced when there are several people offering input.
So this week I’ll be busy wrapping up loose ends, finishing client work and running errands, all so I can be fully prepared to hit the ground running come Friday. My family took me out to a celebration dinner last night at Del Frisco’s steakhouse, and boy was that filet mignon extra tasty! 🙂
Thank you to all of you who have been so supportive of my efforts – your input and support have really made a difference and I’m so happy to be able to share this great news with all of you. Until next time, stay strong and have a great day!
