Going through a very big role change.

Previously focused on emerging technology (for the company) and marketing technology (as my main internal client). Often joked I was the Director of IT miscellany.

Hired someone to run that aspect in my stead while I take up internal tooling, DevOps/SRE, continuous improvement, internal consulting on API development, when to use microservices, etc. These have all been my side projects, so they're switching to being my main focus.

I'll still have some miscellany (Apache SOLR belongs to me for instance, and I love it). Definitely a lot less web dev focused as far as my coding will go, and I'm happy with that. Will eventually expand my team, but for now it will be me and one other from my previous group.

Pretty darn excited.
