So the time has come for me to move on and accept a new challenge. As of the October 20th, I’ll be joining Twilio as a Developer Evangelist.

Twilio has been no stranger to me for quite a while now,  and when I saw an open position in their devangelism team,  I wasted no time and applied for it.

The whole process took a bit of time, but both Twilio and I were quite keen to make sure we would be a good fit for each other.

I had a number of telephone interviews,  and then flew over to Twilio HQ 3.0 for the final round of interviews. The process was quite thrilling,  and I got so excited about it, this was the only company I actually applied for. Halfway the interview process, and after having met and spoken to some of the most clever people I have ever spoken with, I knew I wanted nothing but to work  with them.

I am supper excited with the prospect of not only writing  lot of code and working with some amazingly clever people, but also helping other developers writing some kick a$$ code in conferences, meetups, hackatons, stackoverflow… or the pub.

Also, I will loudly and proudly wear my Twilio jacket to make sure people know they can approach me to have a chat about any Twilio integration, development in general, or life if they fancy it.

Here’s an example of what I will be doing.

So keep tuned, and get in touch!
