Director of Engineering at Ripple Nik Bougalis on twitter announced his imminent resignation. He noted:
“All good things…”
My decade-long journey at @Ripple has been a fantastic (if exhausting and all-consuming) one. I got to work on a project that I love, towards a goal I believe in. But that journey will be coming to an end in a few weeks.
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work alongside and learn from @JoelKatz, Arthur Britto, my teammates on the C++ team (past and present) and so many others at Ripple. The camaraderie and esprit de corps of the C++ team is what I’ll miss the most.
And what of the #XRPL? Its long-term health and success isn’t predicated on any one person. I’m confident that it will be just fine, thanks to talented and passionate individuals who contribute and participate, each in their own way.
Leaving Ripple wasn’t an easy decision, but it is the right one for me. To my fellow Ripplers: I wish you unbridled success.
As for what’s next? I’ll talk about it when it’s time, but I am NOT joining another blockchain project/company, nor am I doing NFTs or DeFi.
