Farewell Boeing, Hello Disney
As many of you know, I was very fortunate to finish college and immediately have a ColdFusion development position waiting for me at The Boeing Company. Additionally, I had the opportunity to work on many large and great projects from consisting of ColdFusion as well as Flex.
Thank you to all my co-workers at Boeing as well as my managers who saw my potential. I would like to make a special thank you to my latest manager, Bill Roberts, for truly understanding me as a developer and my passion for technology. I appreciate everything that you did for me while I was at the company.
From one great company to another I shall go. I was offered a web development position with the Walt Disney Internet Group in North Hollywood. I will be working alongside a team of developers on the Disney family network of sites: family.com, familyfun.com, wondertime.com (e.g. for more information check out Disney Online Fact Sheet).
My last day with Boeing is Thursday the 17th. My first day with Disney is Tuesday the 22nd.
congrats! sounds like a pretty cool and exciting opportunity.
Will you be working with Flex or coldfusion? Or are you going in another direction?
@charlie: thanks!
@Mark: I will not be working with ColdFusion (but don’t worry I will still be doing plenty of it on the side). As far as Flex is concerned, I don’t know at this time. They were very interested in my ActionScript skills. I know I will be doing Flash, DHTML, CSS etc.
Congrats man! The few people I know working there seem to enjoy it — and lots of opportunities there.
Thanks, Adam. I am looking forward to the experience. I used to work at Disneyland (as a ride operator and a vendor) it was great fun!
Congrats on the new position!
Very pleased to have read your good fortune today. Best to you in your new and what sounds like very exciting position.
Thanks Peter and Doug!
What?? Since when?
Well, I don’t think I need to reiterate my congratulations, but I will. Congrats!
Hehe, thanks Brian.
Congrats! Ask Bill if I can have your old job

Congrats Kyle, I’m sure you will enjoy working at Disney. I know you and I had different experiences at Boeing, but I’m sure you’ll find that group a little more forward thinking than Boeing was in terms of web application development.
Congrats and welcome to the team, I’m on the 4th floor, look me up when you get to North Hollywood.
Thanks Scott! Will do.
It’s been a pleasure having you on my team Kyle. You have a very bright future ahead of you and my door will always be open. Thanks for inspiring my team and all your hard work. Keep in touch and take care in your new chapter.
