Yeah. So Wow, that. I mean, there how I got here today is a long and winding road. Um, I spent 10 years in construction, um, in building homes, uh, various different construction stuff sites worked as a truck driver, everything. I did go to college, but then after college, you know, I wasn't I didn't go into the career that I had graduated in. And then after about 10 years, I started thinking, Well, I started looking, working with a couple different people who were engineers and would ask them questions, You know, people in the office and ask them questions about what they're doing, how they got there, um, and explaining things. And eventually I got to be really interested in it. So I decided, Well, I think it's time for me to go back to school. I looked at going back to a full time school university, getting a C s degree on Ben. I started look, and eventually the pros of going to a boot camp outweighed everything else. So I I went thio deaf Mountain

So right now, I am on what would be considered a platform team at my company at podium. What I do is I handle, umAll right. Cool. Um, yeah. So my team handles, Basically are are monolithic Repo for all of our code, our front end code base. So what I work on is code patterns ensuring that, um, that are front and wet are front and application stays up on running. I you know, I push errors to the teams that own those errors. Um, And then I also investigate and look at new technologies, new patterns that can benefit our company.well, the top the top three priorities for my team are ensuring that we have high code quality across multiple dozens of teams. Um, that would be the one priority. The second priority is ensuring that we have standards across the board that are clear. And, um, that engineers know what's expected of them. And then the other thing is, uh, I think is focusing on making sure that, uh, the communication is there. We have all of the information presented to the teams so that they are not wondering they're not left out in the out of the dark. Um, in terms of the pain points, I mean, those are really the pain points as well is making sure that everybody get their information, gets the right information. So whether that is providing written documentation, whether it's doing nerd lunches or whether it is doing videos and recording the videos so that you know either new hires or people can review them down the line. Um, it's kind of a combination of everything. So those were I get I would also say those with strategies of dealing with it. It's also just knowing, knowing what I'm doing it. It's faking it, I guess, to you make it. I know we've heard that phrase before, and I hate Thio. I hate to use that in a way, but, um ah, lot of times I feel like I'm out of my depth with all of this. And but knowing that I have all the information in my head and and knowing that I have the information, my fingertips helps me, uh, you know, deal with getting getting the information across to our our engineering team, which is, you know, 100 or so engineers on DPI providing the right documentation to them.

So I am. I was hired. A podium is a front end engineer. So the frameworks and languages I use are JavaScript, react and react native. We do have a mobile application that is done and react. Native. And then obviously then a zoo. We connect to the back end, There's node, and we use graphic Yuelin. Apollo, uh, the back end part of our team. We use elixir. And so I am still working on, you know, leveling up my lecture, Uh, my election knowledge, Uh, in terms of software programs, just a typical I S O. I use V s code. I know some use, um, sublime or our Adam. And then, um yeah, that's really it. I mean, I guess on top of that, we use bug snag, new relic to track our on you to track our you know how How are Bugs air? You know, if there's bugs in our code, um, we use in terms of libraries that we use for everything. It's just for testing libraries as well as we have. Advantest with selenium
