Ending My Adventure At UC Merced And Starting Fresh

Back in 2010 I was hired by the University of California, Merced (UC Merced) after having first worked as a student employee for two years prior.

I was hired as part of the Student Information Systems (SIS) team of IT. Although my responsibilities spanned across all departments, I primarily supported the needs of the Undergraduate Admissions department.

I designed, developed, and supported many of the applications to address the growing needs of the department. These applications stretched from simple information management systems to complex automatic review processing systems using a variety of programming languages such as Java, ColdFusion, PLSQL, and Shell.

I am now continuing my adventure to Couchbase in San Francisco, California as a Developer Advocate.

Couchbase is the highest performing NoSQL distributed database around. It has technologies in web, mobile, and IoT applications. Products include Couchbase Server and Couchbase Mobile which is composed of Couchbase Server, Sync Gateway, and Couchbase Lite.

My role at Couchbase will be to reach out to developers and help them to be successful in both the development and deployment of their applications.

On May 18th, 2015 I will be leaving a lot of great people and in trade meeting even more.
