moving on…

Donaldson Company has been around since 1915. Although you’ve probably never heard of it, it’s been quietly dominating the filter industry. With over about 14,000 employees worldwide, and hitting the 2 billion dollar revenue mark last month, it’s clearly a force to be reckoned with. It was a great opportunity to work there. Alas, I’m moving on…

Once I settle in, I’ll talk about the new firm. It’s actually about time. My concentration (technical passion) in college was distributed computing, grid and cloud-based solutions. However, after school Akkam’s Razor lead me in another direction – gainful employment. Anyway, years later, it seems like I might get that chance to work on a reasonably large, scalable, truly distributed solution. I’m definitely looking forward to that, and it doesn’t hurt that my commute will stay under 30 minutes a day (with traffic). 🙂
