Returning Home (kind of)
Well its been a busy month - and an emotional one. I decided that it was time for me to find a new vocation and with great sadness I left Exist to look for opportunities in the US. Having worked with Exist for over a year and a half it was a hard decision - and I know I’m going to miss a lot of the great people in the company - but with the constant travel and a desire to return home to my son more often, as well as an interest in getting back to my technical roots, I felt it was time.
It was a bit of a shock to the system to suddenly have my nights freed up back in Charlotte and I have been using them to catch up with old friends and also spending some time with my family. I am also taking the time to work out when I’m going to jump a plane back to the Philippines and actually take a proper vacation there!
In the past week I have been lucky enough to do a bit of traveling around NC (up to the mountains and around the local lakes) as well as back up to NY to get a few beers with people who are wondering if my weight loss is permanent (going to have to work on that one). I am currently just pulling together my plans for next month - and more about that on another blog post.
One thing I’m really looking forward to it a return to technology, architecture, culture and collaboration - these have been the areas that I have enjoyed most in my career and my time with DevZuz and ultimately Exist allowed me to be part of a lot of diverse and exciting projects. I look forward to bringing that energy home with me and seeing what we can do back in New York.
