2021 Changes

Nearly 4 years ago to the day I blogged about a series of life changes that shaped how a lot my time would be spent in the forthcoming years. My oldest was approaching his first birthday, we had purchased our first home and I had just started my new role leading our engineering team at Salesforce.org. It was most certainly the start to what would be a crazy number of years in my life.

Fast forward to May 2021 and while there are many things that are the same (we’re still in our same home in Port Moody!), lots has changed. The boys are going to be age 5 and 3, we’re on the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic and, most excitingly, I’m advancing my career and trying something new! This week I started a new role at Salesforce with a focus on engineering skills and people development for our technology teams.

I’m excited to take this next step in my career. During my growth as a technical leader I have always gravitated and found interest in the people development aspect of management and I’m thrilled to be able to focus more of my energy on these types of initiatives for other leaders in the industry.

In addition to taking on this new role, I’m committing to posting more content on my Twitter profile about engineering and technical leadership. Be sure to give me a follow or check out my Feed for more information!
