A lot has happened since I last wrote a post on my blog way back in October 2014!  My son was born in December 2014 and we have since celebrated his first birthday too!  Oh and we have had the small matter of relocating four and half thousand miles from Sunderland, UK to Redmond, Washington, USA!!

Back in July 2014 I joined Microsoft as  Program Manager on what was then Azure Websites, Azure App Service.  My role includes working on the public cloud product – Azure App Service, the on-premises product – Windows Azure Pack Websites and the future of the service on premises – App Service on Azure Stack and I am also still involved with some of the out of band modules for IIS.

Outside of work I have stepped back from some of my community work, but not completely, to devote more time to my family .  I am still involved with DDD North remotely and I will likely get involved in the community in and around Redmond but will scale up or down over time.  I am also hoping to restart blogging reasonably regularly and will be updating the blog theme over the coming weeks and months.
