This Friday – Aug 10, 2012 was my last working day in Alcatel-Lucent (aka ALU, former Lucent Technologies) R&D Qingdao site. I joined Alcatel-Lucent R&D (former Lucent Technologies R&D) Qingdao site on December 1, 2008. Since then, I had been working as a software developer in group of Linux Control Platform (aka LCP) for almost 4 years.

There were always pains and gains during the past 4 years. Nevertheless, when then pain and the gain are not correlated anymore; when passion is corroded by the routine and process; when then calling and then rebelling are stronger and stronger in one’s heart deep inside, it is time to leave.

YOU gave my name ‘daveti’, which means invitation in Turkish; YOU let me know how technologies change the world, like Bell Labs once did; YOU made me be proud of being a software developer, which may be one of the most noble job in the world; YOU put me into the team, where people value technologies, love, pride, sharing and teamwork; YOU kept me out of the dirty world and told me how to follow your heart…THANK YOU!

God bless us! Bye…
