So where have I been?
For the better part of the past 2 years I've mostly been involved in a custom dev solution for one of the major banks... I started out during the initial analysis phase as a dev on the project, then our Team Lead left and I had to fill that gap. The team changed quite a bit, and while we were busy on this project our team also grew to include a couple of SharePoint and BI people. (Working on other projects) More people, more work :) To tell you the truth it has been quite difficult trying to juggle different projects, development and managing a team. Can't say that I didn't find it exciting, I did and am still learning a lot and I love it. The plan is to get back into blogging as much as possible, the theme of the writings will probably just be a bit different, we'll see :)
This Monday we will be taking this solution into production and next Monday it will be opened up to users. Confident that all will go well, believe we've covered all the angles, tried planning for every obscure situation that may arise, tested till the users were fed up with us, but there is always this slight apprehension with something this big. Been involved since the beginning and am proud of sticking it out and seeing it through to the end.
Thinking about not being involved in this project is a strange feeling, there's so many other things that I want to concentrate on and put my efforts into and never really had the time for, but it will still be like a child leaving home (haha, I imagine). Looking forward to what the future might hold :) And you'll see more of me!
