Am leaving current employment partly because I want to learn new things, both CF-related (OO, ColdBox, TestBox) and other languages including Ruby, Rails, React and/or other JS, and modern testing and dev practices. I hope to start out with a period of exploration and to end up where the inspiration takes me!
