A Sitecore Core Developer goes solo

I made a decision a couple of months ago of going back to my old discipline of software consulting. This means that I have resigned my position at Sitecore as a Core Developer and QA manager, and have created a Software Consultancy firm called “Delegate ApS” (I know, quite C#’ish)

My decision has been a hard one and has nothing to do with me not being happy with working on this amazing product. I simply missed the kick of being around real customers and following projects through.

During the time of employment at Sitecore I have learned allot of hardcore stuff. Specially working with Ole and Jacob (Core Developers and innovators of Sitecore) has been extremely giving. Before working at Sitecore, I was a consultant and have therefore worked with allot of developers through the years. Without comparison, the guys at Sitecore are the most competent. I will truly miss the high level of abstraction there guys are able to discuss architecture on.

However, this will not be the end of my work with Sitecore. Sitecore will make sure that I become a Sitecore Certified Trainer as soon as possible and I have decided that my new firm (Delegate ApS ) is to become a certified Sitecore Partner within a month or so. This means that I will finally sit on the other end of the table and experience actually working with the product, instead of creating the product.

All the luck in the world to Sitecore here at the end of my voyage as an Sitecore employee.

Hi Runi,

Altough it isn't always clear what your and the job of the others is on the project, you have done a terrific job @ Sitecore. I can understand your reasons but I think it's definitelly a loss for Sitecore.
Good luck in the feature and hope you continue blogging!
