Jonathan Griguol

As a creative software developer, I consider experimentation and innovation as critical in my career development. I enjoy using a variety of technologies and also, being part of a team since I understand that demonstrating the feasibility and possibility of internal ideas through the development of rapid prototypes and minimum viable products can only be achieved by teamwork.

I value working with other people, - product managers, designers and fellow engineers - on solving challenging problems and encouraging each other to learn new things daily.

Since I like challenges, given a safe environment, I usually enjoy working on products end-to-end, asking questions, and constructively suggesting whether there is a better way to do something.

I like working in an agile and highly collaborative environment and challenging the norms of traditional business. I consider myself to have a curious mindset. Furthermore, I understand that developing a strong domain knowledge of clients’ industry over time is key to long term success

As a Senior software developer, I like building high-quality products. Also, I always engage in mentoring and leveling up less experienced colleagues.
