It’s been 12 months since I started with Telstra. My pass still worked after a few weeks off, so that’s a good sign.

• the group I joined changed names from GAP to TSG
• got to meet some wonderful folks at muru-d
• helped out with the pilot for codeclub australia
• met a bunch of passionate API folks
• went to SF for the I ♥ APIs 2014 conference
• created the #stickercolumn
• was a guest on the 100th edition of the franklyspeaking podcast 
• spent time with lots of API platform vendors – which has been strange for me, as I spent such a long time with a technology vendor
• got to work with a bunch of really smart people
• plus a bunch of other stuff that has made the past 12 months zoom by!

Enough looking back – time to look forward. Onward to the next 12.

So far the job has been pretty much inward looking, as we worked to get a API platform in place & get some APIs on-boarded to the platform.

But that’s all about about to change!

I have an upcoming talk at APIDays Sydney, titled “Telstra’s Path to API Enlightenment” and I’ll use that to describe the journey we’ve been on. (oh, and speaking of journey, I saw a great tweet recently by Aussienick which describes a similar journey)

So here’s to the next twelve months and beyond.
