🎉 Exciting Milestone: Maxed Town Hall 11 in Clash of Clans! 🏰 Today, I'm thrilled to share that I've Maxed Town Hall 11 in Clash of Clans, and believe it or not, this journey has taught me invaluable lessons about being an engineer. Here are some insights that directly translate to my professional growth: Strategic Planning: Just like in software development, advancing in Clash of Clans requires meticulous planning and strategic thinking. Prioritizing upgrades, managing resources, and anticipating challenges mirror the project management skills needed in engineering. Continuous Improvement: Reaching higher levels demands constant learning and improvement. This resonates with the iterative nature of software engineering, where continuous integration, testing, and deployment are key to delivering robust solutions. Team Collaboration: Success in the game is often driven by the strength of your clan. Similarly, in software engineering, collaboration and teamwork are crucial. Sharing knowledge, supporting peers, and leveraging collective strengths lead to outstanding outcomes. Adaptability: In both Clash of Clans and software development, the landscape is ever-changing. Being adaptable and quick to pivot when facing new challenges is a vital trait. It fosters innovation and resilience in dynamic environments. Problem-Solving: Every raid and defense in Clash of Clans involves critical problem-solving skills. In software engineering, debugging and optimizing code require a similar analytical approach to overcome obstacles and achieve success. Maxing Town Hall 11 is more than just a gaming achievement; it symbolizes growth, perseverance, and the continuous pursuit of excellence. I’m excited to bring these insights into my professional journey as an engineer and to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Let's keep leveling up, both in games and in our careers! 💪🚀 #SoftwareEngineering #StrategicPlanning #ContinuousImprovement #TeamCollaboration #Adaptability #ProblemSolving #CareerGrowth #Tech #ClashOfClans #GamingToGrowth

There are many tech projects out there with great intentions that never take off. Why? Well, they're often just too complicated. It's like picking a gadget because it has all the bells and whistles, only to realize you don't use half of them. Here's a thought: 1) Keep it simple. 2) Aim for quick, tangible benefits. 3) Celebrate those early victories and build from there. Because, at the end of the day, all those fancy features won't mean a thing if no one's actually using them.

This week marks 5 years of moving from Silicon Valley (SV) to the Research Triangle (RTP), and the Raleigh area. I frequently get asked, why did we move and how do I like this area? Especially by my friends in Silicon Valley. When you are in SV, you feel that you are living in a monoculture of tech folks. Almost everyone around you is working in tech or is an investor or a VC. It leads you to be hyper-competitive, and constantly chasing that next win, and that next role, and a higher paycheck. You need that higher paycheck to live and work in SV. And there is no other place like SV to fuel new companies, and tech startups for sure. The housing costs are out of control, the traffic and competition for schools and resources. Much of this was a motivator for leaving. But there were also many things that drew us to Raleigh and that we are grateful for. Being closer to our children who are both on the east coast. A lower cost of living, a simpler and calmer life and a diverse culture of real world humans. There are great schools here Duke University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University as well as multiple other community colleges. A vibrant art and restaurant scene with world class museums like the North Carolina Museum of Art. There is a vibrant tech community as well and a world-class open source conference called All Things Open Conference run by the amazing Todd Lewis. I am also able to travel from an airport 15 mins from my home, and fully participate in my tech career but come home to a calm existence. Nothing wrong with that. #grateful #NorthCarolina #SiliconValley
