After 6+ years at Informatica, I have made the very hard decision (trust me, it was hard) to pursue another opportunity. I joined Infa as a Software Engineer. I am exiting as a Software Development Manager. An awesome career growth and an incredible learning experience!

Infa was where I learned patience - An 18-month release cycle is not exactly for the restless.
Infa was where I practiced diligence - Working on multiple projects on any given day will force you to be.
Infa was where I over-communicated - When working with teams across multiple timezones, assumptions are definitely the mother of all fuckups.
Infa was where I understood teamwork - It was not for the code that I stayed late nights, but it was for the camaraderie of having dinner together with my teammates after a 10-hour day.

Life at Infa for me was more than just the product releases.

Infa was where my creativity flowed with the making of the four product videos. Infa is where my acting skills (or lack thereof) emerged in the various skits. Infa is where my tequila-tolerance rose to great levels. I danced, I skiied, I snow-mobiled, I sang, I karaoked, I xmas-caroled, I trained and ran my first marathon. Infa was where I first fell in love.

I will miss Infa and its people. I will miss the amazing culture. I will cherish the memories I made at Infa forever.

Thank you Informatica!
