This Friday will be my last day as a member of the element14 team. I joined this company 9 years ago and began working for the community a year later. I feel very lucky to have been given the chance to be a part of the element14 community and will cherish the time that I spent here long after I’m gone.
Highlights include countless giveaways and contests, all the cool projects you guys did whether they were Arduino or Project14 related, all the great questions you guys asked during webinars and live events, being around an awesome team, and being constantly amazed the more I got to know you. I could go on and on about the things that I cherish about my time here, but I think you get the point.
This community has been friendliest community that I have ever been a part of. You have actively shaped all the activities and programs that I was a part of, making me look good and my job a lot easier at the same time.
I want to thank my company, managers, teammates, and most importantly the community members for your support and taking a chance on me throughout my journey over these past 8 years. You all have a place in my heart, and I hope to carry the lessons I’ve learned here into the next chapter of my career.
Some Final Business before I leave: I have a few more packages that I need to get delivered to members in India and I will close out my last Project14 contest before I leave. If there is anything outstanding on my end, please reach out to me by the end of the week so that I can make sure you get taken care of. As far as who to turn to for anything that is outstanding after Friday, I leave you in the capable hands of the rest of the element14 content team: cstanton , rscasny , or e14phil.
Thank you for being the best community members in the galaxy! I will miss you all!
