Fullstack Product Engineer - with a bias to the frontend
Surrounded by very talented people I learnt from everyday. Was a nice ride!
Wrote a lot during my time here. With topics ranging from Technical Documentation, RFCs, Code Standards, Design & Architecture, Test strategies, reports from spikes & research efforts, and not to forget the many failed pitches.
Education - Maintained an active & well curated Slack channel titled #learning. The idea here was simple, share material I found helpful, to help spread good engineering practice across the company. Sparked lots of insightful conversation, and in my opinion, positive change.
