New Job!
It’s been a while! Time flies when you have a baby. Ayaan was born on January 19 and has been keeping us busy ever since.
Started a new job a few weeks ago with Aptela. They are a small company which provides business VOIP services. I am in charge of building and designing the UI for their web-based control panel as well as any upcoming consumer-facing applications. It’s been pretty interesting going from a huge corporation like AOL to a small 50 person company like Aptela. As with any job change, there is some adjustement, but overall I am pretty happy with the new position. There are a couple people there who I have worked with before so it helps with the transition.
All the work I am doing so far is in Flex, but I am already dabbling in SQL to analyze user metrics, and will also be learning Erlang, since it’s the language of choice for the back-end systems. Erlang is a functional language, and my only functional programming experience is a brief introduction to LISP about 9 years ago in college. It’s going to be fun learning some new stuff!
