Well, I didn't considering this D.announce worthy, but Andrei suggested I post the news.

As the title suggests, after over 5 years in the games industry I've decided to shake things up a bit and join Facebook at their London office.

Unfortunately, that's about all there is to say at the moment! I'm starting at the end of May and that's when I'll figure out what project I'll be working on (as Andrei has mentioned before, you aren't hired for a particular role at Facebook, but as a general engineer and you decide on your project during your first 6 weeks at "bootcamp"). It will most likely be tools/infrastructure work of some sort.

To be clear, I haven't been hired for anything specifically D related, but it goes without saying that I'll continue to be a D evangelist ;-)

Huge thanks to Andrei for referring me, and to Facebook for hiring me!

Good luck!

Will definately be looking forward to hearing how the influence
of D is spreading  at Facebook over the next year or so.
