Downsizing

I'm both happy and sad to announce that I'll be downsizing my career. I'm leaving behind my work as a Technologist for Liberty Mutual and assuming a core engineering position with Jive Software here in Portland.

I'm sad to be leaving the team at LM. They are immensely talented and capable of great things, I sincerely hope they are given an opportunity to act on that talent.

That said, I'm looking forward to joining Jive, more so than most of my previous career moves. If you follow the news stories around Jive, they are doing good things and doing them well. They are building on open protocols and generally lean towards Open Source Software as well - both things I highly value.
