Today is my last day at OnWired.

I started working at OnWired less than a month out of college. Over the last year I have learned a lot about my craft and the business details that surround it. Here, I have experienced many triumphs and pitfalls of agency life—what to do and what not to do—and I'm grateful for that experience. More importantly, however, I've been able to further solidify ideas of who I am as a programmer and what intrigues me as an individual. Like everything else though, there is a conclusion, and the time has come for me to move on.

Over the course of the last few months, I've been burning the candle from both ends—doing day-job work during the day and freelance in the evenings. For a while there, I basically became a work-a-holic. I realized that the reason I was doing freelance work wasn't for the paycheck, it was because I wanted to be involved in the work. With other opportunities looming, it was simply time to make a decision.

Where to next?

It is because of these, and maybe a few other, reasons that I've chosen to take up freelancing full-time. I feel that this is the only time in my life that I'll be able to make such a leap. I'm young and have very few personal and financial commitments—free to fly. This is a big step for me—both personally and professionally. There are lots of unknowns, but I take comfort in knowing I'm happy, have few regrets and have a clear view of who I am and what I want.

If you have a project that you'd like to work on with me, or would just like to say hello, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I'd love to hear from you.

I wish the OnWired team the best of luck and safe travels on the interweb high seas.
