Yes, I am staying at McAfee
As you have no doubt heard, Tyler Sticka has announced that he will be leaving McAfee. Many of you know that Tyler and I attended the Art Institute of Portland together and, since then, we formed the first Interaction Design team at US Digital (along with Erik Jung), taught at the Art Institute of Portland, and were working closely on Enterprise software at McAfee.
Designing and developing with Tyler is an exhilarating experience. He’s quick, thoughtful, and engaging—and I know he’ll continue to go further as he takes his next step.
With our history, I imagine some might think I’ll be leaving to join Tyler in the near future. I want to say that, while working with Tyler is a ton of fun, I have no plans to leave McAfee. My current role has been, and is, an exciting challenge. With just over a month and a half under my belt, I’m enjoying both the people and code I get to develop with. The five day work weeks have been a little tough to get used to, along with the commute, but free soda and fast-paced, testable, continuously-integrated web development is awesome.
While we may not be working under the same roof, do not fret; professionally we are not done.
Wow, small world. I remember you from BGHS…
Heh, small world indeed! I think you’ll enjoy working with Tyler. Ask him about comics.
