A Technologist in a Technology Company.... what could be better?

When I was acquired into Sun in 2002 via Terraspring, I was told Scott McNealy had 1Q left on the job, Solaris was dead, Sun was about to be acquired, the stock was $2, oh! plus there was a ton of restructuring....

So after 5-years on the job, and a lot of ups and downs, the previous 12-months have been the most incredible and interesting in my tenure. As a Field Engineer and Architect focused on Opteron, Blades, Virtualization, and Andy Bechtolsheim's product line:

- Sun hits number #3 for Server revenue
- Niagara CMT continues to surprise the skeptics
- Solaris hits over 7M in downloads
- Sun has a successful Opteron x64 line and adding Xeon
- Scott is today Chairman of the Board
- Sun is making money

Who would have thought?

I'm a technologist working for a technology company. What could be better than this? Q.E.D.
