I need a quiet background or to have music on to focus and think.
If I am feeling stuck, "rubber ducking" helps me.
If you are talking to me while I'm typing or working, chances are I am not listening to you.
The role I usually take in a team:
I am a doer and a supporter. I like getting things done, and also like being very organised.
My communication style:
I appreciate direct and honest conversation.
If you are talking to me and I stay quiet it means that I'm thinking and organising the ideas in my head.
What I value:
Respect for each other.
Creativity and learning.
having an open mind
What people misunderstand about me:
Since English is not my first language, if we are in a noisy environment with lots of people talking at the same time, I am going to have a hard time hearing and understanding you. I promise it's not that I'm not interested in what you are saying.
Sometimes I might come up as sarcastic because of the same reason, but it's not the case.
How I like to get my feedback:
Just try to be as constructive as possible. I like improving and getting better.
Technical strengths & weaknesses:
I learn quite fast, and enjoying doing it.
I am patient.
I am a completionist (I guess this one falls into both categories).
I might take me longer to understand abstract concepts, because I need to visualize it in my head in order to understand.
