Working with Me

I work best in small teams with fast iteration and candid feedback. At risk of indulging the notion of corporate superpowers, my Clifton strengths are ‘activator’, ‘ideation’, ‘positivity’, and ‘competition’.

I tend to work in intense sprints of uninterrupted focus with a healthy dose of good company in between. In terms of communication preference, I prefer phone calls to texting generally (sorry Millennials). The slow drip of notifications on my phone is on of the great banes of my 21st century existence.

Craftsmanship is important to me; I care deeply about how things are made. I have a lot of respect for people who get things done, are willing to take a stance on what they believe in, and don’t take themselves too seriously.

I start a lot of things, and will often want to have many projects going at once. Sometimes this is a strength, sometimes it isn’t. I try to remind myself that [[https://aeon.co/essays/innovation-is-overvalued-maintenance-often-matters-more|innovation is only half the battle.]] I like to think I take feedback pretty well, so call me out when you see me screwing up.
