Happy Friday! It's time for another employee spotlight 🔦 Meet Andrew Masiye! 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐑𝐚𝐟𝐭? I've been with LifeRaft since July 2021, so 3 years now. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲/𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬? I am a Software Engineer and the Scrum Lead of the Dossier Pod. My primary responsibilities are to ensure the team delivers on its goals and promises as well as contributing to our codebase. I strive to keep the morale of the team in a good place because I believe we deliver our best when we feel our best. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲? I've always wanted to do something that could impact lives in a real way, so when the opportunity arose to combine my love for software development with the opportunity to protect lives it was a no-brainer. People matter so it's nice to know that our efforts could potentially save lives. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞? The people are amazing and I'm always learning new things. It can be all too easy to feel disconnected, especially for one who is working remotely but the LifeRaft team makes up for it. People are friendly and always seem to remember that there is a person behind the code. 𝐅𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐲? I love watching movies and sports. There's nothing quite like watching a good story with amazing cinematography. Lord of the Rings anyone?... 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝. I can't stand cucumbers and onions... I'll leave it at that. #LifeAtLifeRaft #WeAreNavigator #WeAreCaring #WeAreTenacious #WeAreCurious #LifeRaft #Navigator #NavigatorPoweredByLifeRaft #InRelentlessPursuitOfZeroMissedThreats

Writing quality code is an essential skill for any software engineer. Especially if you're like me and just starting your career. Which is why I partnered with Rahul Pandey and the team at Taro (YC S22) to create The New Grad Software Engineer's Code Quality Blueprint. It's a 5-day educational email course containing everything you need to know to write great code as a new grad engineer. The course contains lessons from my own experience as well as content from the experts teaching on the Taro platform. Sign up using the link in the comments 👇
