Update on a few odds and ends
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010The life of a web professional is never boring to say the least. The beauty of it is that when you’re really busy your blog truly suffers. Well, unless you’re Chris Pund - who I swear holds the secret to being busy and blogging.
What have I been up to?
I’ve spent the last few months investing a lot of my time at my day job on huge overhaul project. The long hours of research and development are finally paying off as the project itself is nearing the launch date. Nothing is more sweet than reaching the finish line. Where am I going from there? Right back to research and development - looking at user statistics, how they react to change, and to test and develop solutions for later stages of this project.
Realization
In the midst of all of that I’ve come to a few conclusions on my own end of the web professional world. For many years I did a lot of contract work on the side to pay for school, gas, etc. As a young teen this really grew throughout the years. However, as college graduation loomed I really started steering away from my entrepreneurial instincts.
As for continuing work on the side I have decided that I may take on this endeavor with more focus during the 3rd quarter of this year. Don’t jump to conclusions - I’m not quitting my day job (I’ve got it made folks - Virginia Tech, especially the Office for Research is an IDEAL place anyone should work for). I’m only looking at a few options to continue my growth as a professional and to give my creative spirit an outlet to flow.
Be on the lookout, there are going to be many great things to come this year!
