My Last Day at Unbounce
Today was a bit of a bittersweet day; I officially stopped working at Unbounce.
It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but I believe it is the best one I can go with if I want to move forward in my personal BHAG, remodeling Vancouver, BC as a Functional Programming hub where strong typed functional programming jobs are not an uncommon ordeal.
My time at Unbounce taught me so much:
Efficient usage of tooling for monitoring, logging and track business data analytics for production systems
How to communicate backend services using AWS tooling
How to do Product Discovery, Product Planning and Customer Success in a data-informed fashion
How to interview people that can couple with values one cares about
Sensitive ways to deal with unplanned and urgent work
And many other things…
It also got me the privilege to work with amazing people like Raymond Huang, Ho Yan Leung, Macarena Poo, Meagan Sobol, Teresa Duke, James Brennan, Kieran Cormack, Gabe Scholz, Ainara Sainz, Steve Mynett, Cheryl Lee, Arthur Gonigberg, David Dossot, and many other names (I can’t possibly fit on a single paragraph). You taught me standards of excellence and professionalism by example.
Unbounce has been the company I’ve worked for the longest time, and, in my opinion, that is the best compliment I can give. Thank you Unbounce, I will remember times there as some of the bests of my career so far.
Now, I am preparing for my next adventure at Calabrio, where I’m going to be working full time in Haskell and hopefully make a positive impact on their business and my BHAG.
