Switching company and role: Data Engineer to Sales Engineer

Hey gang,

I want to introduce myself. I feel like I'm transitioning into a new world by moving from delivery to sales and this is my coming out announcement. I'm joining a small SI as the first SE and will be supporting 5 AEs. I'm also a digital nomad and my new company allows work-from-anywhere, so I plan travel around the world starting with South America this winter (I've been stateside for most of this year).

I'm super excited. I expect it to be a lot of work. Sitting between sales and delivery feels like the right role, so I'm excited to see how this unfolds over the next few months as I adjust to the role.

Wish me luck!
