This week I started my new role as Head of Development at Voxbone whose tag line is “Strangely Simple Cloud Communications”. It’s a small company of 200 people, head-quartered in Brussels, who (in my opinion) are having an out-sized impact on the telecomms industry by bringing an API based approach to what has previously been a very manual, regulated, and incumbent-driven area. In my role I get to work with a great team of developers located across Europe including in Ireland, Belgium, Romania, and Moldova, alongside our product, infrastructure, and other groups.

So, after nearly 7 years, my time with Pivotal has come to an end. It’s been a great journey, and I’ve had the opportunity to work with some great people in all different parts of the business across the world. Thank you to everyone in and around Pivotal that made it so special! Pivotal has now become part of VMware Tanzu, and I wish everyone continuing the best of luck & success in the future, and I hope you can continue demonstrating the excellence, honesty, and above all kindness that was a key part of Pivotal.

For a long time, this blog has been running as a Wordpress app on Webfaction. When I first started using Wordpress, it was long before Wordpress.com provided simple managed services, so using your own LAMP stack hosted server was the preferred approach. A few hosting providers and PHP versions later, it’s probably time to move on. This set up has served me well, but I’ve never really made use of the more dynamic elements of Wordpress.
