So, after nearly 7 years, my time with Pivotal has come to an end. It’s been a great journey, and I’ve had the opportunity to work with some great people in all different parts of the business across the world. Thank you to everyone in and around Pivotal that made it so special! Pivotal has now become part of VMware Tanzu, and I wish everyone continuing the best of luck & success in the future, and I hope you can continue demonstrating the excellence, honesty, and above all kindness that was a key part of Pivotal.

I thought now would be a good time to reflect on 2013 and the changes that have happened in my life. Officially I have now been out of academia for a year. My postdoc contract ended at the end of 2012, and while I stayed on at QMUL as a visiting researcher, I took the opportunity to travel for a few months with my wife, before setting out to find a new job.
