Joining Mozilla
Shortly after the Shizzow crew began ramping down our efforts, I began contracting with Mozilla, starting in the summer of 2009. I’ve mainly been performing PHP development for a number of projects, including the Crash Reporter, Creative Collective, Jetpack Gallery (now a part of Mozilla Add-Ons) and the Bespin Plugin Gallery. Today, I’m excited to say that I’m joining the Mozilla team as a full-time employee.
The Mozilla web dev team has been gradually migrating a number of their projects from PHP to Python, many of which use the Django framework. Although I’ll still be writing PHP, I’ll also be following their lead, and have started pitching in on one of their Django projects, the Input Reporter.
I’ve really enjoyed working with Mozilla, and am continually impressed blown away by the caliber of people that I work with. Each Mozillian is not only passionate about technology, but more importantly is passionate about doing the right thing for the web. All of us at Mozilla feel the calling to embrace and protect the open web, and I’m so grateful to be in a position where I can help.
