How do you do your job differently?
Unlike what most people outside of technology think, software engineering is a highly collaborative field. We need to make sure all of the team members on a project are in sync. I like to document what I work on and keep all meeting notes to share it with the team to not only serve as a reference when needed but also to help future team members understand the process of how particular decisions on a project were made.
What are you most passionate about?
Outside of work, I like to spend time playing guitar. I am not really good at it but it makes me happy so I continue to do it. Traveling is also important to me. Of course, 2020 was a different year but I look forward to when I can travel places again.
