Hi everyone! Yep, you read it right… I’ve joined the Adobe mothership as a Senior Developer Relations Engineer! I’ll be on the Developer Experience team with amazing people, some of whom I’ve known for years now. I’m not saying this lightly: I’m genuinely excited.

Wait, what?

You may have noticed this blog hasn’t received much love lately, except for book announcements. In addition to my usual mix of gigs, in the last couple of years I’ve been working with Adobe as a contractor: first as a software developer in the Photoshop UXP DOM project, then helping with Adobe Express add-on documentation.

When a position opened, I applied, interviewed, and went through the usual process. I’ve spent the last quarter of a century as a freelancer or with my own company: working full-time in a Fortune 100 tech company with 30.000 employees worldwide is a hell of a pivot, but I’ve fully embraced it. It was time for me to switch gears and take the challenge. I’m joining the Developer Experience (DevEx) team, a group of wonderful people with whom I had the chance to work before.

If you’ve been around long enough, you know that there was a time when third-party extensibility wasn’t the recipient of much interest (understatement). Then, the wheels started moving again: forums, social channels, new features, documentation, office hours, and developer meetings have flourished. It’s an effort that involved multiple teams and people: DevEx has been a central driver, and I’m proud to work with them now.

I’m writing a longer post, rich in mumblings and rantish in spirit (not “radish” Grammarly, thank you), where I go through the last 20+ years of my career, if you’re curious—there are things that I want to put on a page before I move on, weird bits and memories included. Rest assured that I’ll carry on collecting my (personal) opinions in this space. For now, thanks so much to those who’ve supported me; I’ve loved every email and chat with you over the years. Please keep reaching out if you feel like it, feedback from the community is more important than ever for me now.

A note on my books

Given my new role, I don’t plan to write new books on Adobe extensibility in the foreseeable future. However, I am still committed to keeping Professional Photoshop UXP and Adobe UXP plugin development with ReactJS relevant and up-to-date with the latest platform changes—they’re still for sale on PS Scripting, and among my accomplishments they’re the ones that I’m still the most proud of.
