Values
Quality first
No project done without quality in mind will last very long. I have been a detail-oriented person since I was very young, always striving to create the best possible solution to a problem. Robust solutions are much better in the long run than hastily created ones.
Open feedback
Teams cannot work efficiently and effectively unless there is a culture of open feedback and trust between its members. As I try to do the best work I can, I'll always try to encourage this kind of culture in the teams I work with.
Big picture in mind
At the end of the day, the products we make are there to help other people with their daily tasks. I always strive to know the "why" we are creating this system. That way everyone is on the same page and we can make the best possible product for the problem at hand.
