Leaving IBM…

After more than five years working in the IBM Hursley Software Lab, I’ve decided that it’s time to move on. I’ve enjoyed my time in Hursley greatly and learned a lot, but in order to further grow my career, I’ve decided to leave the connectivity middleware space. I’ve worked with a lot of talented developers and architects in Hursley and around the globe on a variety of interesting projects and products, and I hope I cross paths with many of them in the future, and wish them all the best.

So what does the future hold? Well, a move away from a software product vendor to a company which uses technology and software in support of (and to drive) its business. Also a move from the leafy Hampshire countryside to Canary Wharf. On a date TBC in the not too distant future, I’ll start work as a software engineer at Morgan Stanley.

I’m really excited and looking forward to working with a new team on new challenges and learning a lot more about the finance industry.

    bb – Press is made by Automattic, the people behind Word –
    Press. Since the early days of the BBS (bulletin board systems) when the Internet was just being accepted as a mainstream part of our society people have been getting
    addicted. It would serve you better to be more involved on
    fewer forums than being less involved on a greater number
    of forums.
