Goodbye Adobe

Friday was my last day as an Adobe employee and as an InDesign engineer. I worked at Adobe for 12 years and on the InDesign team since well before we shipped InDesign 1.0.

During the first four releases of InDesign (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0 (CS)) I worked on InDesign scripting, exposing InDesign to AppleScript, Visual Basic and JavaScript.

During the 4.0 (CS2) release I worked on InDesign Server, removing all of the UI from InDesign so that it plays nice in the server world.

Adobe was a great company to work for. What a thrill it was to build a new product and see it evolve. Our users loved the product and enthusiastically helped us make it better.

I met a lot of great people at Adobe which I will miss but in the end, the entrepreneur urge was too strong.

I leave Adobe to start my own software company. I have some very exciting product ideas that I’ll be working on. I can’t wait to fill everyody in on the details!
