What's the technical challenge you are most excited to solve in your role?
I'm excited to build tools - like data infrastructure - I get to think about how to build things that already existed in my last job and I get to determine what and how we build to help engineers that will come behind me.
What has most surprised you about working at Lightspark?

The opportunity to work with a team of awesome people, building something new from the ground up. An environment of solving challenging problems is also something I really enjoy.
