Feel emotional, last day at Oracle done.

It was my dream job, literally being paid to do my hobby full time.

I had incredible freedom to do whatever I wanted upstream for nearly 2 years straight.

I worked with some intensely smart people like Liam Howlett and Matthew Wilcox (two memory management legends) among many other great people.

I went from a hobbyist to a core kernel maintainer with many varied contributions throughout mm.

It was a great team to be part of and I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity.

With that said, I'm very excited about what comes next!

I will remain focused on upstream and my core mm maintainership continues :)

More on that shortly!
