Moving Forward

After more than 12 years working for SAP, it was time for a change. I decided to refresh my professional life and joined the Zend Studio team.

All these years at SAP will remain a cornerstone in my professional career. I built myself as a software engineering. I worked on exciting projects together with so many great colleagues in the lab in Sofia, in the headquarters in Walldorf, and across the globe. I engaged with the Eclipse open source community.

My participation in the Eclipse community was perhaps the most romantic part during that time. I am extremely happy that in my new job I will continue being part and contributing to the community.

After two months working for Zend Technologies, I can say that this was the right move for me. I am now having the environment I wished for some time: smaller company, less processes, less politics, faster decision making, ROWE, telecommuting, shared office space, using modern and friendlier tools... In short: more freedom.

  3. Glad to hear! Me myself needs regular therapeutic programming sessions to keep the adverse effects of big corporations in check - and to keep enjoying the good parts. :-) If I have the chance to go to Sofia again, I'll drop you a note.
