**How long have you been with Goji? What is your role at the company?**

I joined Goji more than 6 years ago. My current role is squad tech lead.

**Give us the inside scoop – what are some of the unique aspects of working at Goji?**

Working at Goji is a unique experience due to its dynamic and collaborative culture. I joined more than 6 years ago, and I’ve had the opportunity to wear multiple hats as we’ve moved from one project to the next.

**What has your experience been like with working on your team?**

My experience working on the team has been nothing short of positive. The combination of a collaborative spirit, open communication, adaptability, and a focus on delivering quality products to our clients creates an environment that I find both fulfilling and conducive to success.

**Do you have a favourite memory from working here?**

Hmm, there are many, but if I had to choose one, it would be the Christmas party in 2019. The last party before the world changed forever.

**What was your dream job as a child?**

To be a millionaire, still working on that.

**What would you do if you had unlimited free time?**

Recently, I discovered my passion for epic fantasy and science fiction books. My to-read list has grown to approximately 300 books in just a few months. At the moment, I am engrossed in the expansive world of the Realm of the Elderlings series by Robin Hobb, a remarkable 16 books and at the same time discovering the thrilling universe of Red Rising, a saga of 7 books.

**Any fun projects on the horizon? What are you and your team up to next?**

We are building a new KYC solution that demands careful planning, technical expertise, and a keen understanding of regulatory requirements. It is a complex but very rewarding endeavour that will contribute to enhanced security, regulatory compliance, and a seamless customer onboarding experience.
