Yes, I left WWU. And yes, I've been cagey about where I'm going. I didn't know if the new place wanted the scoop on announcing where I went. Well, they didn't, so I get to do it.
I'm now working for Logik, the eDiscovery people. WWU regularly hands over Outlook archives and other files to people filing Public Records Requests. Logik is the kind of firm that those people give WWU's data to for indexing, deduplication, and isolating the interesting bits. This is a job that legions of law clerks used to do, and now automation is starting to do that work as well.
This is an interesting place. They hired me because they wanted a professional IT point of view in their operations, and that's me in spades. It's a much smaller operation than I'm used to, but unlike WWU it's revenue generating and fairly homogeneous. I expect to exercise my scale-out skills in a way that WWU never really asked of me.
