As you can see by the orgchart above, I have accepted an offer of employment from Rutgers University Office of Information Technology. I’m working full-time as of 1/26/2005, and will be working on the myRutgers Portal among other projects. You can see me reporting to the “vacant” box in the lower right hand corner.

Although I was tempted by several other offers, the lifestyle and opportunities at Rutgers ended up being too much to resist. I’m quite impressed both with the quality and direction of the Architecture & Engineering group. Having more time to spend with Christian while also working on my Masters degree was a powerful incentive as well. In the end it just feels like the right place to be.
