My happy place

I can fully concentrate, watch the flowers to think, hear the birds on my window, have a great air conditioner, great devices, what else can I ask for?

Outside of work, you'll find me...

I learn best by…

doing it

I love challenges, and love helping others solve their problems.

Things I'd love to learn

I'd love to work more on Python & Ruby, I really enjoyed working with it

Always been on the backend, but I'd love to experiment with React in production.

😬😧🥴 Recently went outside my comfort zone…

Today, I'm interviewing after 18 years being an entrepreneur/self employed.

It freaks me out...

Always read confirmation modals !!!!!!!

I tend to suggest ways to improve things to others.

People might feel micromanaged...

I really admire teammates who are…

Innovating using new technologies

Kindness, resourcefulness, curiosity

Things that deeply motivate me…

How I stand out

Motivated by making community/world impactCreates warm, caring relationships with teammatesMentors and develops teammates for their growthCollaborates effectively with teammatesPrioritizes common good over self-interest

Building an awesome culture at work is 10x more important than hitting goals. Anybody can copy a product with time and money, but great products are built by encouraged teams.
