Joining Microsoft

Posted by Andrew on September 02, 2008

I’m very excited to announce that, starting November, I’ll be working as a dev within the SQL Server DP group - specifically on the Entity Framework.

The position is based in Redmond but I missed the H1B this year and so we’re heading up to the new development center in Vancouver. By all accounts, Vancouver is a great place to live and my wife and I are looking forward to the change of scene - We both ski too and are stoked about having one of the world’s premier ski areas right on our doorstep :-)

The decision to leave Mindscape, the company I co-founded was, of course, not taken lightly. I’m highly proud of what I helped create there - especially LightSpeed (my baby originally). I will particularly miss the variety of discussion that occurs in a small, developer-led shop like Mindscape. In my opinion, starting a company is a truly worthwhile experience because it forces you to consider all those things other than the code - You quickly learn that it’s those things that matter more.

That said, working for a company like Microsoft gives you the opportunity to touch many, many people’s lives…and, hopefully, make them just a little bit better.
