IBM and Microsoft: A 25-Year Journey

My 25 Years at IBM and Microsoft

For 25 years, I had the privilege of working at two of the world's leading technology companies: IBM and Microsoft. During my 12-year tenure at IBM, I served as a Systems Engineer (SE) and played a pivotal role in launching the company's cloud business, among numerous other successful projects. One of my most memorable experiences was acting as the infrastructure leader and architect for an online ticket system for a major ticket company. This project marked a significant milestone in my career.

Early Career Focus

At the outset of my career, my expertise lay in performance design for large-scale web services and the technical design of communication and databases for large-scale games. However, over time, my interests gradually shifted from the technical side to the business side of technology. This transition led me to join Microsoft's startup support activities, providing me with the opportunity to expand my network within this dynamic field.

Transition to Microsoft

Initially, my strength was in the technical performance design of large-scale web services, a skill set that gained recognition and earned me a place on Microsoft's Xbox team. In this role, I provided technical support to game development companies, acquiring new skills and broadening my professional scope significantly.

Embracing Change

The first time I seriously considered leaving Microsoft was during a layoff opportunity. Given my involvement in startup support activities, I already had potential external job opportunities. Therefore, I decided to take the plunge, resign, and embark on new challenges.

Upon making the decision to leave, I felt incredibly fortunate. I saw it as a chance to embrace change at a time when the world and prevailing trends were shifting dramatically. Seeking new skills and work environments symbolized a step towards freedom for me. At the age of 48, I felt exceptionally lucky to continue learning and adapting to new surroundings. I am confident that this pivotal moment will lead to positive outcomes as I continue to pursue new interests and enjoy the journey.

Ultimately, my enjoyment and passion for what I do are paramount, serving as the driving forces behind all my endeavors.
