In a little over a week and a half, the lion share of the web technology community will be descending on Austin, Texas for the 2010 edition of SXSW Interactive. As in the last 3 years, I will be there as well.
My agenda this year is very simple:
- Promote the WordPress Bible,
- Find new and interesting companies and individuals working with WordPress and looking to bring on a consultant to help them achieve their goals,
- Find possibilities for full time job opportunities in Austin.
The last one might seem a little odd. Why would I look for full time employment while owning a consultancy? The answer is counter-intuitive but frankly, I miss working with others, collaborating and seeing a project through. I want to be closer to the action, and I’m looking for a reason to move to Austin on a permanent basis.
Austin has some fantastic companies, in my search. They are, of course, known as a somewhat high-tech center with chip manufacturing and enterprise software manufacturers. They do, of course, have a growing startup scene as well. It’s also cheaper than DC, something that I find very attractive.
Primarily, I’m looking for a senior management role that would allow me to utilize my extensive technical background with a team of developers, but with a product/project management twist. I’d like to be able to interface on the business side as well and I think the public facing capital I’ve built up over the years would serve any company well. An online version of my resumé (with a direct PDF download link) can be found here.
I will be in town for a week and am able to meet during that time. Drop me a line at aaron@technosailor.com or at (443) 455-1056.
