About Emily Jowers

Hi Nice to meet you. I\'ve been a software engineer for over 10 years now and leading teams for the last 4. I\'ve learned a lot over those years, like how to center a and also how to scale a team. I love simplifying complexity and automating away inefficient processes. I am passionate about creating positive user and developer experiences through beautiful UIs, intuitive functionality, and empathetic, candid leadership.My core values are: OWNERSHIPI own what I do. From concept to development to customer validation. I enjoy being involved in every step of the process. SIMPLICITYI truly believe simpler is better. Simple solutions are easier to understand, easier to implement, and easier to maintain, leading to increased productivity and decreased bugs.‍🩹 EMPATHYWhether it\'s for the customer or my fellow devs, empathy requires you to understand people, what motivates them, what they love, and what they struggle with. By putting myself in their shoes, I am better able to serve them and provide them with what they need.🫥 TRANSPARENCYHonesty is the best policy. I strive to be straightforward, honest, and direct in my communication and feedback. This helps avoid confusion and speeds up improvement.
