It’s been a long long time since I last blogged. I set out to start this as a resource to help other programmers understand how they can make their way in business.
I found myself moving from a web developer role working on a few high-profile clients to working with a previous company as a software development manager.
Why did I change direction?
Being a software developer I found that I was more suited to helping people. Not in the “I know best”, but in the “you know best, show us what you can do”. This change in mindset opened up a new way of interaction. Gone were the days of programming for a living, but to encourage, motivate and remind people of their passion and how they can help themselves and others.
I aim to blog regularly on my thoughts, observations, lessons learnt (and believe me, there will be lessons learnt!) on leading a team of software developers.
Stay tuned!

Really interesting post, in a way I can identify my self here. My background experience is engineer, and I am studying to become a good leader playing a role of manager. Have you found this transaction difficult?

Thanks for your comment. That is an interesting question. To be honest, at first I found it challenging; i had to learn to move away from thinking about myself as an individual contributor to an enabler. It has taken me a few years with twists and turns along the way to get to a place where I feel comfortable. I will look to write an extended post on my journey.
How have you found your experience so far?
