October 31, 2019 Update: Today I said farewell to 10up. I’ve loved my just-shy-of 15 months there. Satisfying challenges and personal growth growth galore. Some of the highest-functioning professionals I’ve ever encountered. I hate to leave, but it’s time for some deep rest after too many years of too much stress. So I’m taking a sabbatical. I’ll start thinking about what’s next in a few months.
10up just released a marketing video that’s a good excuse to finally make an announcement here:
Monday, July 23rd was my first day as a Senior Web Engineer at 10up.
I’m supporting our enterprise clients scale and maintain full-featured marketing websites that use frontend JavaScript frameworks paired with WordPress for content management.
I’ve always been impressed with 10up’s professional and competent appearance, and they back it up with quality delivery. Their reputation as a leader in the WordPress space is well deserved. But, I didn’t anticipate what it’s like to experience this company from the inside.
Three weeks in, I’m thrilled at what a joy it is to be here. Everyone on the team is not only talented, but a pleasure to work with. It’s the best mix of friendly, supportive, and empowering that I’ve ever experienced in the workplace — and honestly a stunning contrast with our professional reputation. Work/life balance and ensuring people are happy feels like it’s priority number one. (I have the sense that it hasn’t always been this way, so I feel lucky to’ve joined at a point in company history where we’ve figured a few things out!)
I’m excited to see what the future holds!
Here’s that video:
