Farewell Dat and Jagruti

I found out this morning that Dat has accepted a position at a private company in Adelaide. Dat is the brains behind some of our highest-profile applications - AssignIT (assignment submission), SET & CEI & TellUS2 (various survey tools) amongst others.

Jagruti is also finishing up after working on a new application for disability service support. Her new position will (in the short term at least) will be a bit different. She and her husband are expecting their first child very soon!

So with the exception of Michael (who will remain to continue multimedia development) and Gary (who is leaving in a few months), all the developers from Online Services "have now left the building."

Farewell Me

You might have guessed this was in the pipeline - I've just accepted a contract position at the Department of Education and Children's Services.

As a consequence, I've also just given my resignation from UniSA. It's a funny day, as technically today my position transferred to ISTS out at Mawson Lakes. Being on leave at the moment though meant that this hasn't had any relevance so far.

I've got mixed feelings - excited about new things, but sad about leaving colleagues and friends, and the opportunity that was lost by the less-than-optimal handling of our team through our restructure.

I'm hoping to start the new position next week, but that will depend on successfully negotiating an early departure time (compared to the standard two weeks notice).

I'll be doing a separate post on my experiences of job-hunting (in case you are interested in the gory details)

Farewell RJ

I also found out on Friday that RJ has accepted a position at Alcidion. I hope they realise they're getting some quality talent.

Amongst other things, I believe they're happy to accept the fish tank too!
