Cenqua: here I come

The rumours are true, come the new year I’ll be starting with Cenqua - the creators of Fisheye, Clover & Crucible. I’ll be working remotely for them from my little corner of north London or to put it another way, I’ll be their premier UK employee. ;) My task will be to design, develop and support new and existing software development tools you will actually use.

This move has been a long time in the making - I first interviewed with them (a beer in hand, if I recall) back in the middle of the dot-com crash when they were transitioning from a service company to a product company. Unfortunately, like many, they’d just laid off staff and weren’t in a position to take me on. More recently this year I did some work for them but found my 9-5 racket was proving too exhausting to deliver anything substantial or on-time. Now the timing seems right for me to come on board full time.

You gotta love a company that calls its head office the “Central Command” and describes my role as “Senior Software Engineer / Architect / Code Poet”.

Matt, Conor, Brendan and Pete - thanks for giving me the chance to work on some great products! I can’t wait!
