After a number of very interesting years at Macquarie Bank, I have accepted a very exciting offer to join Microsoft as a Senior Software Development Engineer. Deciding to leave Sydney (and Australia) wasn’t an easy decision – it’s a wonderful place to work and, more importantly, to live – but life is about taking those opportunities to push yourself and expand your horizons.

So it’s with a little trepidation and a lot of excitement that the family unit (me,wife,4 kids,dog) will be heading to Redmond sometime in the next few months (visas permitting).
