“Both this project and my team members have played a pivotal role in my growth. As a junior, I received invaluable seniority and general guidance from my teammates. The freedom to explore innovative solutions for our product—always followed by an opportunity to prove their worth—has fueled my creativity and critical thinking. However, what truly facilitated my growth was the culture of openness, honesty, and accountability. Thanks to these values, I’ve also forged strong interpersonal relationships.” - Bartek Kotlicki, DevOps Engineer.
