10 years of Liferay

These days, we’ve got an unexpected package. What came inside it was even more surprising! What was going on?

An iPad box with a card on top of it. The card has the number "10" written in golden color.

Well, it turns out a few months ago I just completed ten years working for Liferay! This is not only a remarkable tenure, but also one that led me to a lot of growth. I lived in two cities, traveled to a few more around the world, learned to work remotely with very diverse teams, worked with numerous stacks and could see the LATAM branch grow from a dozen people to hundreds.

A card with a header written: "Happy Liferay Anniversary."

Below, handwritten in Brazilian Portuguese:

"Adam,
It is an honor to write this card for you to celebrate your 10 years at Liferay.
Work done with commitment and dedication always bears good fruit.
I am very proud to have been part of your journey. May you continue to be an inspiration to all of us.
Happy 10 years at Liferay!! Here's to many more to come..."

These days, it’s unusual to stay in the same place for that long, especially in a tech career. But Liferay is indeed a nice place to work and there are always new things to learn, new challenges both technically and in teamwork and serving the customer. I surely grew a lot and, as it seems, I have room here to evolve even further!

So, thank you, people, for the gift, but more importantly, thank you for the great time, growing and challenges. And brace yourselves, as I plan to be a delightful “nuisance” among you all for many more fruitful years to come! 😄🎉
