Goodbye IBM…hello FIM

I recently accepted a position at Fox Interactive Media (FIM) as a Senior Software Engineer in the newly formed FIM Audience Network business unit.  So what is the FIM Audience Network?…the recent press release describes things best :

The new unit will combine FIM’s advertising technology, ad operations and performance sales efforts into one unit. The team will be responsible for the sales of performance-based ads for both FIM and third-party sites.

Favorite upside…I’m getting a new MacBook Pro (thanks Boss).  Only downside…I have to temporarily turn my back on my Ruby brethren as I will be developing in Java again :)  Don’t worry though…it’s still Agile development 4 life baby!

It has been a privilege to work for IBM during the past eight years.  I will always be grateful for the valuable experience, mentoring and practical lessons that I have gained while working there.  I am definitely looking forward to this new challenge and to starting a new phase of my career.  Between my career change and the upcoming arrival of The Chislets my life has just gotten a whole lot more interesting!
