  • You joined factor10 in 2025, what made you realise factor10 was the right place for you?

    Reading the job description, it really checked all my boxes. And then talking to everyone here at factor10 and realising how humble and genuinely nice and honest they all are.

  • Is there something about the way factor10 thinks about software that you especially like?

    The notion of solving the right problem and not starting with the tech stack really speaks to me. And, most importantly, I also appreciate the emphasis on collaboration that is so deeply woven into the fabric of factor10.

  • What’s the best feedback you’ve received from a client or teammate?

    A teammate once wrote a message to me that I saved because I like it so much. It says: “You’ve made me believe in myself more and feel more at ease with feeling stupid sometimes, not being so afraid to ask questions. You made me realise that others don’t have all the answers either.”

    Another thing that makes me very proud is whenever people tell me that a solution I came up with looks so simple or easy.

  • How do you recharge after a busy day?

    I recharge best by creating things – sewing, gardening, baking, spinning.
