I am a huge believer in Celebrate The Wins In Your Life and I’ve reminded my direct reports and mentees at work that it’s important to stop and savor the moment when they have arrived at a milestone in our long journey of work and life. These are birthdays, important anniversaries, work recognition.. etc
Over the last several years, I’ve made a transition from an individual contributor to management and I was given the opportunity to lead multiple engineering teams. While I was already doing the work, my title didn’t reflect the scope of responsibilities. In late 2022, my title officially changed to Director of Engineering of Developer Ecossytem.
