Working @ IBM

September 1, 2025

Short story: As of today, I'm working for IBM. Same team, same project - with a shorter email.

Long story: Back in February, Red Hat announced that they were transferring their middleware division to IBM.

My position as a Software engineer was moved as a part of this transfer, and I've chosen to continue the journey here.

In the near term, I'll keep working on WildFly and JBoss EAP - focusing on their cloud & provisioning capabilities, user experience, and more. Business as usual.

As for the longer term, we'll see...

I had a great time at Red Hat and I will always look back fondly. Many of my colleagues in middleware are also moving to IBM, but I’ll miss those who stayed behind.

Red is in the past, blue is the color of the future. Here's to the next chapter of my career!
