I’m a Senior Engineer who thrives on solving complex technical problems through innovative thinking and systems design. My approach combines deep analytical thinking with creative problem-solving to build robust, scalable solutions.
Think of this as my user manual – it helps us work together more effectively by setting clear expectations and communication preferences upfront.
Communication Quick Reference
| Method | Best For | Response Time |
|---|---|---|
| 💬 Slack | Day-to-day communication, questions, quick clarifications | 1 hour |
| Sharing documents, external communication | 24 hours | |
| 📅 Calendar | Deep technical discussions, design reviews | Book anytime |
| 🚨 Urgent | Production issues, critical system problems | Immediately |
Communication Tips
- Context is key – I work better when I understand the bigger picture.
- Be specific – Vague requests lead to lots of back-and-forth questions.
- Technical depth welcome – Don’t oversimplify complex topics.
How I Work
My Default Style
Independent problem-solver – who thrives on interesting challenges and creative solutions.
Decision Making
Data-driven with thorough analysis – I prefer to understand the “why” before the “what”. I’ll ask questions to gather context rather than rush to solutions.
What I Value Most
-
Truth & Logic – I focus on objectivity and facts over social harmony – effectiveness comes first.
-
Novel Perspectives – I love finding unconventional solutions and challenging assumptions.
-
Continuous Learning – I’m driven by curiosity and genuine eagerness to understand how things work
Meeting Philosophy
Come prepared with context. I prefer focused technical discussions over status updates and work best when we can dive deep into problems together.
👍 What works well:
- Clear agenda with technical details
- Background context provided in advance
- Time for deep-dive discussions
- Follow-up documentation
👎 What doesn’t work:
- Status-only meetings without decision making
- Rushed decisions without analysis
- Meetings without clear outcomes
Working Together
Give Me Feedback
| Aspect | Preference |
|---|---|
| How | Direct conversation or Slack – be specific and factual |
| When | As soon as possible, don’t let issues build up |
| What | Technical decisions, communication clarity, when I’m overanalyzing or getting lost in theoretical possibilities |
Feedback I especially value:
- When I’m going too deep into rabbit holes
- If my questioning comes across as criticism (it’s usually curiosity!)
- Technical approach improvements or alternative solutions
