After 3 1/2 years at Zend Technologies I am both excited and saddened to announce that I will be resigning from my role of Sr. Professional Services Architect in the Global Services group as of April 11th. While it saddens me to leave such a vibrant, exciting and cutting-edge company I am excited to accept a CTO position at Automotive Computer Services (ACS).

I can't share the details in a forum such as this as to why I have made such a change just yet, but needless to say despite the mid-90s look of the web site of my new employer I will be heavily involved in Web 2.0 technology, including Zend Framework/PHP and am quite excited at my new opportunity!

On that note, I am actively seeking out quality developers, graphics designers, and system administrators for a new Silicon Valley based development and production office with a start date of the next few weeks. If you are a solid PHP developer (Javascript a plus), Graphics wizard, or system admin who is interested in working on exciting Web 2.0 technologies for great pay and benefits in the Bay Area, please send me your resume john at coggeshall dot org! I am looking for 25 quality people for the new office, so please don't hesitate to apply!!

Finally, I'd like to give a huge thank you to Zend. It's been an amazing experience to spend the last three years in this environment and there is absolutely no measure to the amount of personal and professional growth I have been given the opportunity to realize through my time here. I wish all of my colleagues at Zend the best both as an organization and as individuals and know (not expect) that they will continue to achieve great things.
