Remote worker with 15+ years of experience - Last seen ago

When I was 18 years old I decided to study Engineering because I didnโ€™t want to deal with people. 15 years later I find myself wondering: What would that kid think of my passion for developing teams and careers using software development almost as an excuse?

Donโ€™t get me wrong I still enjoy building great software, but I must admit that I get more excited reading JR developerโ€™s implementation plan than from delivering a build that improves the performance of a particular query by 10x.

Iโ€™ve done a lot of things in my journey from know-it-all junior developer to Senior Engineering Manager. From coding in JAVA, PHP, or Node.js, to leading teams creating Android applications with Ruby on Rails and Python BackEnds, going through suffering from burnout for being the only decision-maker on a large national project.

Iโ€™ve worked for NGOs, governments, universities, and private companies. As a consultant and as an employee. Remotely and on-site. Using agile methodologies and waterfall. With a lot of red tape and with startups that had nothing resembling a request form.

I now focus on People, Purpose, and Process. Great teams with clear purposes and well-defined processes can take on anything. I try to make myself redundant by empowering others to make decisions while always remaining reachable to provide support, never to make the decision for them.

I have come a long way since my early days. I did a lot of growing, a lot of learning and Iโ€™m proud of the person Iโ€™ve become. Iโ€™m always happy to talk about productivity, time management, what makes an engineering team great, or the weather so drop me a line whenever you feel like it. Iโ€™m always happy to connect.
