Growing at Work with Community-Oriented Development
Professional development stagnation is a common problem in any industry. Let's consider some not-so-obvious solutions that have worked out for me to reinvigorate learning and growth.
In this talk, I'll be going over how you can create opportunities to help you and others in your community grow through starting Android tech talks, roundtable discussion lunches, workgroups, and other initiatives. These are all things we have implemented at our growing team at Wayfair to great effect.
How to Do Great Work
I recently moved cross-county to join Wayfair as the Android Tech Lead of the Design Services team. I found myself halfway between the responsibilities of a manager and an Android developer with a new product to understand and a small team of junior developers to mentor.
Inspired by Julie Zhou's advice in The Making of a Manager, I decided to outline what it means to do great work as an Android developer.
I am here to share the soft skills and programming patterns that I have found in my experience to be both important and rewarding. These are the same skills and patterns that drive the Design Services team at Wayfair.
