The Interview
With ThoughtWorks, I've visited
Australia, China, India, UK, South Africa
If I could fix one of the world's problems, I'd put my powers to use on behalf of
Reducing the gap between the wealthiest and poorest people in the world. Part of that would also be limiting how wealthy or powerful an organization can become.
The thing I'm most proud of from my time here is
Helping other people grow in their professional life through formal and informal training and coaching.
The best advice I can give a current or future ThoughtWorker is
Keep learning, this includes new ways to learn when your old ways stop yielding easy gains.
The world we live in is sometimes far from our technical expectations and/or social responsibility expectations. See this as an opportunity to help things get better and don't let it become a source of frustration.
