What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
Working with people much smarter than myself allows me to learn from some of the most cutting-edge technologies in the world. These are also technologies that change the world.
I also enjoy making people's lives easier. I always thought that working at a technology company requires you to tie it to a human pain point. We're not just selling features and services.
We're talking about technology that allows for clear video and picture from 400 miles away. I think it's pretty amazing how far technology can take us as the human race.
Being exposed to cool companies, especially in the growth sector, is also super enjoyable and very exciting.
