Something that interested me this week

This past Friday was my last day at L4 Digital! It was very bittersweet leaving the company. I really liked working there (and playing with the Glowforge, heh).

I'm officially off to Amazon! I start next week and I'm going to be leading developer voice programs there. I'm not entirely sure what it'll all consist of, but from what I know now, it's a role that'll be a combo of developing, dev evangelism, and technical program management. I'm really excited about it. I can't wait to show developers some of the awesome things they can make with Alexa, and help guide decisions around where the SDK will go. Plus, I'm going to get to work with my sister, which I'm extra pumped about!
