Today has marked a new chapter in my career. As many of you know, I have been working as a UI Developer for Dyn Inc. for the past six months. I have sincerely enjoyed my position as well as the work environment at Dyn Inc. I certainly was not seeking new employment, but an opportunity presented itself to me that I just couldn’t pass up.
I have been doing freelance work for Cramer Development on their Markup Factory web publishing platform for the past year. The owner, Josh, contacted me to see if I was interested in coming on full time as a Front-end Developer. It was not a decision I made lightly; after a lot of thought and prayer, I accepted his offer. I felt as though this was the direction God was leading me.
Cramer Dev. is based in Iowa, so the biggest change and benefit this new job brings to my family is that I’m now working from home. I’ve always wanted to be able to spend more time with my family, so this is a welcomed change—not to mention it cuts out eight hours of commuting each week.
Another benefit is that I got to buy all new hardware and software! I recently purchased a 15-inch MacBook Pro. I’m waiting for my Dell 2208WFP 22-inch Widescreen monitor to come in (hopefully by the end of the month). For software, I purchased Adobe CS4 Design Premium, Coda, Versions, and a few other little applications.
My new position with Cramer Dev. is a great blessing and opportunity for my family, which has always been my number one priority. I’m very excited to be in my new role and to be working with a very talented group of individuals. There are a lot of interesting projects in the pipeline that will be a lot of fun to work on!
