What’s the most challenging (but rewarding) part of your role?
The most challenging part is thinking that what we built is going to be perfect but there will always be that one thing that comes up that was not foreseen. And the rewarding part is being able to work with an amazing team on unforeseen situations and resolving the issues that reveal themselves.
What is one assumption people make about working in technology that isn’t true?
That we are just coders. That is not true since coding is just a subset of the technology umbrella.
