+Today was my last day working at [Precedent](http://www.precedent.com). Next
+week, I'll be starting my
+[new job](https://assoc.drupal.org/node/18923 'Drupal.org Developer') at the
+[Drupal Association](http://assoc.drupal.org) working on Drupal's home -
+[Drupal.org](http://www.drupal.org).
+
+I was at Precedent for just over a year and had the opportunity to work on
+several Drupal projects from project leading to ad-hoc module and theme
+development, including my largest Drupal build to date.
+
+I was also lucky enough to go to
+[DrupalCon Prague](http://prague2013.drupal.org) as well as
+[DrupalCamp London](http://2014.drupalcamplondon.co.uk).
+
+I was able to [contribute some code](https://drupal.org/project/eventsforce)
+back into the community and encourage other team members to do the same.
+
+It was good to be able to introduce some new tools like
+[Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com), [Puppet](http://www.puppetlabs.com),
+[SASS](http://www.sass-lang.com) and [Compass](http://www.compass-style.org)
+into the team. I was pleased to introduce and champion the
+[Git Flow](http://danielkummer.github.io/git-flow-cheatsheet 'Git Flow Cheat Sheet')
+branching model, which them became the standard approach for all Drupal
+projects, and hopefully soon all development projects.
+
+Working for the Drupal Association and on Drupal.org was an opportunity that I
+couldn't refuse, and is certainly going to be a fun and interesting challenge. I
+can't wait to get started!
