Changes in 2010

I don’t like making new year resolutions, but there will be some potentially big changes in my personal and professional lives in the upcoming months. I just wanted to write a quick post about my expectations and the reasons behind this decision.

I have been working as a developer for the past 10 years now, and I have always been very lucky to work with talented people and I learned a lot from every project that I worked on. However, working in an agency environment, or even a startup, means that I have to build someone else’s vision, and that doesn’t always coincide with my own.

I am interested in building quality products, whether it is for the web or a mobile platform, and my resolution for 2010 was to make this a reality. To that end, I will start freelancing within the next couple of weeks, and my aim is to pick projects that I am truly passionate about. I want to build killer iPhone apps, tailored web products and content management systems, and maybe even start learning the Android platform to extend my mobile skillset.

The more personal reason I wanted to make this change in my life was to start being location independent. I love travelling, and I want to be able to work from wherever I might be. I am also looking forward to getting out of the 9 to 5 cycle, which was never a good fit for me.

In any case, I am really excited about 2010, and I expect to be talking about some new projects here soon.
