July 13 2015 marks 18 months I’ve been at Telstra. Feels just like the other day I posted about  12 Months In

The last 18 months is best summed up like this – the first 6 months was spent working on the API strategy, the next 6 months was to sell the strategy, and the last 6 months to implement. So we now find ourselves at the start of the next phase.

We’ve also been a bit public over the last few months, first at APIDays in Sydney , and then I ♥APIS , which means we got some coverage:

Telstra opens first public API to developers

The rise of API-ification within the Australian and New Zealand startup ecosystem

Inside Telstra’s shift to an ‘API first’ culture

I’ve also been involved in a bunch of hackathons – from participating in them, running them and being a judge

So, as I had said earlier, we’re now at the start of the next phase. The developer portal is open. We have a few public APIs, and we’ve have had great community support, with blog posts, articles, and code samples.

Great to see developers being open to using these APIs and giving feedback!

Onto the next 546 days…
