The Future Depends on Me

October fourth was my last day at Svyaztransneft JSC. I worked there for almost four years, during which I:

• Worked on the development of almost all modules of our enterprise management system in one way or another (“Document Management”, “Budgeting”, “Contract Management”, etc.)
• Developed and improved the system’s base classes and components
• Developed tools for automating debugging, testing and other operations
• Set up and maintained a part of the development infrastructure
• Migrated the project to new components, IDE versions, and version control system
• Presented at a Young Specialists competition, where I showed off our team’s work on budgeting automation and took first prize.

The time has come to move on. Since October fifth, I’ve been working at the Moscow branch of MegaFon, where I’m developing a portal using Django/Oracle, statistics collection systems, and a number of other tasks.

The main motivation for changing jobs was the opportunity to grow in technologies I love and that are more modern, as my primary occupation, with other conditions being comparable. As far as I can tell, at the new place I’ll have more freedom of action and choice in technical decisions — that’s also quite significant for me at the moment.

My colleagues and I parted ways amicably and with mutual respect, and I think we’ll see each other again more than once when they come to Moscow on business trips ;)
