About Samantha Mitchual Connor

That feeling when you interact with software that provides you with an experience you didn’t even know you wanted - that\'s what I aim to achieve! I love building the applications that are not only useful, but needed, because they make the lives of their users that much easier. In my current role, I collaborate with other developers, designers, and product owners to build and expand NPR’s digital footprint, so that users can consume our content seamlessly. Though writing code has to be the most fun part of my day, other highlights include breaking down complex problems into small achievable tasks and thinking through solutions that are efficient, clean, scalable and transferable. I share my work through presentations, formal technical designs and code reviews. Feedback is really important to me. I don’t shy away from opinions on technical approaches that are different than mine, in fact I welcome them!Outside of my day-to-day, I’m currently interested in the developer user experience; looking to learn more about the practices and philosophies that when turned into norms, make a developer’s life easier and less stressful. Enterprise-level automated testing is something I’m also looking to learn more about.
