Welcome to the team, Chadrine!
We’re delighted to introduce Chadrine, our new Digital Technology Apprentice, who brings a unique and valuable perspective to our team. Her passion for technology and sustainability, combined with her enthusiasm for learning, has already made a positive impact in her first month.
After her first month, we sat down with Chadrine to learn more about her experiences, her role, and what excites her about being part of our team. Here’s what she had to share:
Introduction
If there’s one thing I’d like everyone to know about me that isn’t on my CV, it’s that I’ve lived in three countries and speak four languages fluently: French, Italian, Yemba (a Cameroonian language), and English. These experiences have shaped my unique perspective on life and work.
Role Insights
The most exciting aspect of my new role is the opportunity to explore new technologies, particularly in an environmentally friendly context. I’m eager to dive into various projects and continue learning, as this role perfectly blends my passions for technology and sustainability. Additionally, I have a strong focus on enhancing the company’s cybersecurity measures, both for internal operations and external solutions. Ensuring that our systems and products are secure is a key priority for me, and I’m looking forward to contributing to this critical area.
First Impressions
My first month here has been fantastic. I’ve already been involved in some internal projects, and the team has been incredibly supportive, helping me understand the company’s business logic and existing projects. The smooth transition has been thanks to everyone’s willingness to assist and share knowledge.
My Role in One Word
If I had to describe my role in one word, it would be “developer.” I focus on implementing UI/UX designs for clients’ dashboards, developing agreed-upon solutions, and thoroughly testing them. This role combines creativity with technical expertise, which is where I thrive.
A Fun Fact About Me
A fun fact about me is my passion for environmentally friendly gardening. It’s something I do outside of work that not only relaxes me but also aligns with my values of sustainability. It’s a hobby that connects me with nature and helps me unwind after a day of coding.
Dream Projects
I’m looking forward to the possibility of working on a full-stack software project. The opportunity to contribute across the entire development process, from front-end to back-end, is something that excites me.
What I Love About Our Culture
What excites me most about our company culture is the friendly and collaborative environment. Ideas are shared freely, and teamwork is truly valued, making it a great place to grow both professionally and personally.
Unique Skills I Bring
One unique skill I bring to the team is my commitment to sustainability, reflected in my hobby of gardening. This may inspire new ideas and approaches within the team.
Goals for My First Few Months
In my first few months, I aim to gain a deep understanding of all ongoing projects and deliver a project for an external client. Achieving these goals will help me integrate fully into the team and contribute meaningfully.
Quote That Inspires Me
A quote that inspires me is, “The more you try, the more you learn.” This resonates with my approach to this new role, where I’m eager to take on challenges and learn as much as I can along the way.
Celebrating Team Successes
When celebrating team successes, my go-to is pizza. It’s a simple yet effective way to bring everyone together and enjoy our achievements.
