New Job – Shopify

Posted on by

I’m proud to announce that I’m starting a new job in May: I’ve accepted a Developer Advocate position at Shopify. This will involve doing all sorts of crazy work on/with their api, including helping people develop top-notch apps for the Shopify app-store.

You might be able to tell that I’m pretty damn excited about this, but I’m also sad that I’ll be saying goodbye to the good folks at Apption that I currently work with. They’re a stand-up company and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a solid tech job in Ottawa.

The Flying Developer Has A Job!

I have a new job! This means that instead of being gainfully unemployed, I now get to spend my time working on Gazaro.com. I’ve not worked in a start-up before, and the atmosphere is a refreshing change. There are no clients to deal with, no stifling management to report to and tonnes of new technologies to learn. To give you an idea, here’s a list of all the new stuff I’ve worked with since I started there last week:

  • Python
  • Google App Engine
  • Google Protocol Buffers
  • Google DataStore
  • Amazon’s SimpleDB
  • Django templates
  • Git

Feeling that my skillset was stagnating was one of the reasons that I left my last job, so being exposed to so many new ideas and methods is perfect. That’s all I have to say on the matter right now, but I’m sure I’ll have updates over the next weeks and months on any cool stuff that I do while I’m there.
