Leaving Last.fm

After four amazing years at Last.fm in London I have decided it's time to move on.

I'm honored to have been a part of the company since it was just four guys in a dodgy Whitechapel office (and Russ working from uni) to where we are today, via vc funding and the sale of the company to CBS.

The greatest part of the job has been the people, clever guys and girls who are great at what they are doing (and nice too, bonus!). Keep an eye on them, I'm sure we'll see more interesting stuff created at the hands of Last.fm staff, past and present.

Thanks to the various dev team members who have encouraged me to work on open source projects such as Hadoop, it's been very educational.

I'm going spend the next few months travelling and then we'll see what happens, if anyone wants to get in touch, send me a tweet or a message.

A warning goes out to the Last.fm alumni around the world, keep your sofas at the ready, I might be knocking on your door any day now.
