After 4 years with Oracle (and the brief stint with PeopleSoft before it got acquired), I have moved to Yahoo for a new gig in User Experience Design. I started off last week and am based in the the very conveniently located Inner Ring Road office in Bangalore. I will be working on a couple of properties including Yahoo’s next generation open advertising platform and some emerging market areas. I’m hoping to retain some of my learnings from enterprise user experience but at the same time immerse myself in the consumer Internet space with a very open mind. So far the office’s been good, there’s an experienced and enthusiastic product and design team here and the India office has a nice casual vibe.
I hope to also blog more about my experiences in this space.
