Skype (2003-2025)

Skype (2003-2025) was the one tool that propelled my career, allowing me to work remotely for companies in the USA since the early 2000s. My primary communication was emails and a bit of Windows Messenger. While I worked with Joey Lott, the author of ActionScript Cookbook, he introduced me to Skype.

Skype became one of my must-have tools. It became a lifeline while working with clients from the opposite side of the globe.

On 10 May 2011, Microsoft acquired Skype for $8.5 billion. Microsft retired Skype on May 5, 2025.

Thank You, Skype. You served me and my teams well.
