Alright, gang. It's time for some Roberto news:

After three life-altering years, the last day of #PTW19 will also be my last day at this wonderful place we call Technical.ly. On May 16, I'll be joining D.C.-based @industrydive as a reporter for their @CIOdive site.

I'm unsure if I can really get my point across of how impactful this job has been. I didn't have all the answers but @technicallym gave me time to figure them out. More threads to come on this.

To my boss, my friend, my mentor @christopherwink: Thank you for giving me a shot to prove myself when I needed one the most, and for not going a single day without offering me your tireless support.

To my editors and friends @zackseward @juliana_f_reyes @juliezeglen, as well as the entire @technicallym team, you made this journey an exciting, unforgettable one. Thank you so much.

To this amazing tech community: thank you for your trust, your support and your challenges. I firmly believe you're poised to keep transforming what this city looks like.

While my beat will change in focus, I am sure that Philly still has stories for me, but with a national lens. I'm looking at you @SAP @Comcast @EPAMSYSTEMS @EvolveIP et al.

On a less nostalgic note, I'm super excited to join @CIODive's impressive team, where I will be working with editor @NaomiEide to look at national trends in big data, IT strategy, cloud computing and more.

They do this kind of reporting (!): ciodive.com/news/h1b-Canad…

Also, I will be staying in Philly but will be traveling to D.C. and elsewhere often. Hit me up for coffee or lunch whenever, wherever 🚄

(Cool trivia: at Industry Dive I'll be reunited with my friend and @Generocity alum @TonyAbraham from @healthcaredive. Allentown's proudest son and I will be manning the unofficial Pa. bureau.)

Finally, if you are interested in telling the fascinating stories of a bustling community, if you're curious about the intersection of local news and technology, if you want to grow alongside an amazing team and company...

boy do I have a job for you: technical.ly/job/technicall…

P.S: Let's celebrate these three years together? Join me at the #PTW19 Signature Party! technical.ly/philly/2019/03…
