Professional Development

Step 3

What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

I think my greatest strength is my interpersonal skills and ability to connect with people on any level and any topic. I consider myself to be accepting of people’s views no matter what their views are. In the career I am leaving behind interpersonal skills (soft skills) are very important and my success in sales was in part driven by my ability to connect with people. I hope to develop my soft skills even more and use them in my new career.

How do you work best?

I work best when I am appreciated for what I do. I also do my best job when I can see that my work is making a difference, when it helps somebody. In sales the only true identifier of how well you do is your proximity to your quota number. And you are only as good as your last big sale. For me to do my best work I need to feel appreciated for the work I do and not just how good my sales numbers are.

What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

After reading the articles and watching the videos for this exercise I can see how empathy can be learned, however I do feel that it’s something that has to be taught from an early age. I grew up in Russia where culture is different from the American culture both have their positives and negatives. I do think that empathy plays a larger role in Russian culture than it does in American culture. A lot of people confuse empathy with sympathy and I myself do that as well. I do feel that empathy requires much more than just understanding of other peoples’ troubles or state. You have to really know and feel what it’s like to be in their shoes. A good example of somebody wealthy being empathetic with somebody who is poor. A person who has been born into wealth can not truly understand what it’s like to be poor. I try to use empathy in my relationships with others. I try to be attentive and always consider

My reflection on Agile Process

Agile & Feedback Reflection Guidelines

  • What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects?

The Waterfall process is what i think of as a more 'traditional' process where the project is divided in large sections that are somewhat independent from each other. And each section has to be completed fully before you can move on to the next part of the project. With Agile the process if much more integrated where each component of the project be it design, testing, implementation, requirements are being evaluated and tweaked with each iteration of features.

  • How did you and your group approach project management in this project (what tools did you use, how did you hold each other accountable, etc.)?

We used Trello board to keep track of where we are at in the project, we referred back to user stories often and also took each feature as its own little project that we design, code, test and implement.

My Story

I grew up in Saint Petersburg Russia and moved to US when I was 16 years old. My parents were self-made business people so I thought that’s what I should do too. In college I decide to major in Business Administration. I graduated arguably at the worst time - 2008. Time when US economy lost 2.6 million jobs. And here I was, another college grad with a degree in General Business.

Without a clear idea for a career I “fell” into sales. Technology was always my passion and my first job working at Apple was something I really enjoyed. Over the years I tried myself at other sales jobs moving from retail to inside sales to outside sales and finally regional account manager.

What is a "framework?" And how does it differ from a "library?"

Biggest differentiator between framework and library is "who calls who"? Library is a collection of code that you can call on
at any time from your own code. Like Jquery, you can use built in methods with your own code to accomplish certain things. 
Framework is bound by rules and things need to be done in a certain way. Framework calls your code instead of you calling its code.

Why should we consider using a framework over vanilla JS like you have been doing in mods 1 and 2?

The biggest benefit of using a framework is ability to easily keep UI in sync with data. When using plan vanilla JS you have to
