My new job at Rubicon Project

Rubicon Project LogoIf you haven’t heard the news yet, I am leaving my current job at the Los Angeles Urban League after a good three years with the company.  At the league, I was at times a youth mentor, interview coach, webmaster, and then also found some time to do my regular job of fixing computers and providing technical support as a member of the IT department.

However, I recently received an amazing opportunity to join up with The Rubicon Project, an internet company with a “mission to automate the $65 billion global online advertising industry.”  There I will be working alongside their Engineering Team doing Quality Assurance for the Project’s platform.   It’s a great new opportunity to work with great new people, but it’s also bitter sweet to leave a place you have been working at for a little while.  To all my coworkers at the League, good luck to all of you.  And to all my new coworkers at Rubicon, I look forward to meeting all of you.

As time goes, I’ll probably write of these myself soon. Stay tuned.
