I'm a mobile software engineer with over 7 years of experience. Most of my projects were organized with scrum methodology, which I find very useful. In the past 7 years, I've learned that delivering features very fast, or having 100% unit test coverage are not the most important things. The most important thing is to solve the problems your team and your client has. In some ways, delivering features and unit testing them will solve these issues, but it's important to know how I'm making things better and being positively impactful. I'm a strong believer that a united team is essential for success, that helping each other will always be rewarding.
