My Values

In anything we do, it's important to know what we value. Knowing what you value enables decision making that is aligned with how you want to work and what you want to do. If you don't know your values, your decisions can end up scattered and misguided; potentially leading you away from where you want to go. The values below sketch out the things that I use to guide me in my career.

Be Humble #

No one's work is above review or feedback. If you can't accept feedback you can't get better, and if you can't get better, you're doomed to eventual failure.

Be Creative #

Any problem worth solving requires creativity. The most rewarding problems are the ones which are tough to solve. Creativity is how you solve those problems elegantly.

Be Curious #

If you are only interested in understanding the slice of a project you are responsible for, you won't understand the project. Modern engineering problems are inherently multidisciplinary. Being curious about the pieces of the problem outside your domain is critical to solving problem successfully.

Always Be Learning #

My only value that says "always". If you aren't learning, then you are going to repeat the mistakes of the past. Everyone fails, but those who succeed don't fail in the same way twice.
