September 15th, 2006 marks my last day as an employee of SPSS, Inc. ending my two and a half years of employment at the company. I have gone from an Intern Web Developer to an Associate Quality Assurance Engineer to finally an (unofficial) Associate Software Engineer. I want to thank the variety of people I have worked with at SPSS, Inc. from the members of the Web Team in ITS to the folks in QA and the Text Mining Development group for all of the opportunities they have given me (and the marketing and events departments for given me so much web work to do ;-).
