What makes it interesting for me?
It’s the challenges that come with solving problems. The feeling you get when you’ve overcome those challenges is something that fills me with happiness. Knowing that I did my part is very very cool. Of course, this feeling is especially strong when the problems you’ve overcome are ones that directly help people and our environment.
Why do I work in this job?
It is a field where you are constantly learning and creating new things, you can be very creative in multiple areas and see a direct impact on the environment.
Why me?
Not only am I very curious, but I also love challenges. I can also find a good connection between many topics and how they intertwine.
What would make this job even better?
More projects that have a direct link to the environment or people-centered technologies.
This is the advice I would give to my 15 year old self:
Dare to try more, even if others see you doing it. Ask all the questions you have, there are many more people who are also interested in what you are also interested in and also have the same questions. And cut off that stupid forehead fringe! 🙂
