I recently started a new role as Dev Manager for the Bing Index Serve team at Microsoft. It’s a very exciting opportunity — Bing is gaining tremendous traction and the Index Serve dev team is packed with smart, talented, and dedicated engineers. In addition, the role is a great fit with my skills and experience and also positions me to have a big impact.
I am commuting back and forth between San Francisco and Bellevue WA for a couple months until my family is ready to relocate permanently. I will certainly miss the Bay Area — which has been my home for the past 22 years — and the many friends, colleagues, collaborators and co-conspirators that have made San Francisco such a fun and rewarding place to play and work. However, the Seattle area is not so far off and I am already starting to experience some of the great things that the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
I am hoping to do some regular blogging here… We’ll see how that pans out.
Sounds like fun, Chad! And welcome to the Pacific Northwest!
If you’re settled in Seattle now, Chad, bounce an e-mail off me if you might be interest in lunch sometime. I’d love to catch up!
