I also know all about:

  • I collaborate well with Designers, Engineers, and Product Teams, on project planning and priorities; helping determine product road maps and project schedules; assessing a dev timeline's feasibility; and identifying granularities within larger stories for isolated, phased rollouts (deadline trade-offs).
  • I love learning from teammates across disciplines, pair-programming, and collaborating in general.
  • I regularly communicate status updates, and proactively participate in project tracking with team members, including daily face-to-face intelligent interaction.
  • Overall, I'm a solution-oriented, collaborative, smart teammate.
  • I proactively contribute to team culture.
