Technical Recruiter

Hi all, nice to meet you!

I currently work as a Senior Engineer at Spotify, specialising in backend development. I started at Spotify more than 5 years ago as an Engineer I and slowly progressed through the Spotify Steps to Engineer II and then Senior. I hope my experiences can help you if you're looking to grow in a similar manner.

Before becoming a Software Engineer, I had a career in Sound Engineering (still doing that, but now as a hobby), so if you're a person who's thinking about switching careers, I hope I can be of some help in this case as well.

My main work interests are:
- understanding the point-of-view of customers and collaborating with them and other development teams to better understand the problems to solve and find ways in which we can incrementally deliver value.
- collaborating with other teams on company-wide initiatives (e.g. organising internal conferences, or knowledge sharing sessions).
- writing clean code and making small, incremental, easy to review changes in which.

I'm also interested in growing as a mentor/coach and at the same time helping other people grow. 
I hope that being a mentor I can also learn from you, either by being asked questions that I don't know answers to or by having a chance to understanding the context you're in.

Looking forward to learning more about you!
