Cleverbridge.com ‘Front end Web Developer’
As of late, I have been really looking around and trying to focus on growing on what’s important, and take time away from things that aren’t contributing to the overall success of my career. I have been looking up and down craigslist for about 2 months now, taking on odd jobs, and looking for a low key internship environment where I could grow in web development, build my body of work, but at the same time keep my job at Apple. While it is important for me to succeed in what I’m going to be doing for the rest of my life, I have worked hard to get where I’m at with Apple, and going to keep that going strong.
Come next summer, there will be a new Apple store location opening up downtown Chicago on 108 S. State St. aprox. 4 blocks north of where I currently live. It would cut my commute to work by more than half, and with the work ive been doing, I’d like to think I will have a good run at becoming a new Genius opening that location.
So, about a week ago, I found a front-end web developer post that was for the south loop in Chicago and I immediately responded once I saw it. Got in contact with the Senior Designer, and did a phone interview talking about my previous experience, as well as where I see myself in the coming years. The weekend went by, and I was called in to have a face-to-face interview with the Senior Developer and VP. All was well, and the offer was on the table for me to accept the position, so I took a few days to figure out if I could pull it off in my availability, and I decided to accept.
www.cleverbridge.com is a business based out of Germany that specializes in advanced e-Commerce. Most of their clients are mainly software developers looking for a solution to have a front/back end checkout process, and it’s actually quite interesting how it all works. My job is to basically take default look and feel of the shopping carts the clients purchase, and match it closely to the theme of their current existing website. People there are cool, its very laid back, and I think it’ll work out.
So currently between Columbia, Apple, and Cleverbridge, I just have enough extra time to eat, sleep, and occasionally tease the cat.
