After 3.5 fun filled years, it is unfortunately time for me to depart from the Smule family. There have been great changes, both for me and the world, with many fond memories. I can’t possibly recount them all in a single blog entry, but I wanted to share a few thoughts.

As many of my friends and colleagues know, yesterday was my last day at Okta. It’s been a wild ride; it’s been a fun ride and now it’s time to close that chapter of my life. Any departure from a company one has been at for a decent amount of time is bittersweet. Even if you’re not happy at work or “hate that guy”, there’s always a flip side: the successes, the hijinx, and good times. Those high points are what you’ll remember for the longest. The workaholic in me is looking forward to getting a good vacation in for the first time in 3 years. The pragmatist in me is looking forward to getting some of the procrastinated chores around the house done. The sentimentalist in me is sad that I won’t get to see my coworkers on a daily basis; my coworkers that after three years, I call friends. All good things must come to an end, and this is my epilogue.
