Sasha

Workplace & Employee Experience Associate

What does your typical day look like?

If variety is the spice of life, then my typical day is well-seasoned, but not too spicy. I'd say that 70% of my time is spent coding and collaborating on new features with another developer on my team. The other 30% is spicy with new challenges, in a good way, like a classy mango habanero sauce.
