London from Kingscross

I love the web. The web should allow anyone to access any experience that they need without the need for native install or content walled garden.

My first year at Google has been an incredible journey. It's been a whirlwind of experiences, from joining the company after selling my Twitter web-app to working alongside industry experts like Chris Messina and Tim Bray. I started as a Developer Programs Engineer for iGoogle and Google Chrome in London, and later transitioned to a Developer Advocate role. My first month at the Mountain View campus was an intense learning experience. I've traveled extensively, presented at various events (including Google Developer Days in Munich, Moscow, and Prague), and contributed to the launch of the Chrome Web Store. I'm excited to see what the future holds, including speaking at Google IO and working with more developers outside of London.
This Thursday, January 13th, 2010, I'll be working from TechHub in London with @mahemoff as part of my resolution to work more closely with developers outside of Google UK HQ. Stop by and say hello between 9:00 am and 3:30 pm if you're in the area!
I've just completed a Mastering UML training course at IBM Education Services in London. It was a good course and I learned a lot, particularly because the instructor, Chas Weaver, incorporated his own experiences. The only downside was the lack of Internet access.
