Helen, that's great! Congratulations. Keep going. I left teaching many years ago for technology. It took me a while to make the decision because I did enjoy teaching, helping others and working with youth, but I'm glad I did because I realized I do really love tech and software engineering. I do miss teaching but as you mentioned academia is not only about teaching. It comes with so many other convergent issues.
