I traveled along with the young optimistic masses following the call of grunge music and found my actual calling \u2013 not in music, but in software development. Initially, my visions were of guitars and drums, and of signals and wavelengths, but I discovered a newfound passion of working on computers and networks, and writing scripts and code. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia', serif; color: #333333;\">I found my way into the Software Development industry\u00a0through a small creative agency\u00a0called Pop Multimedia in 1999. I started in media production (Audio, Video, Photoshop), but soon advanced to lead\u00a0the QA department, and later advanced to Senior Developer where I worked\u00a0on a range of exciting and complex projects. Since leaving Pop in 2007, I&#8217;ve broadened my career as a SDE II at Microsoft\u00a0and Principal Developer at Razorfish.
