Not all of us agree or share the same opinions, but that’s a positive thing. Whether you’re new or have been here for years, your opinion is taken seriously.</p><p id="6d5b" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mx my gu mz b na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu gn bk">I feel very heard at Plotly, which is incredibly valuable, especially in the tech space. It’s a very supportive environment, and everyone is approachable. For example, I could message anyone from new hires to the leadership team and have my thoughts or concerns listened to.</p><h2 id="032f" class="oj ok gu bf ol om on dy oo op oq ea or ni os ot ou nm ov ow ox nq oy oz pa pb bk"><strong class="al">What is your favorite part about working for Plotly?</strong></h2><p id="bc01" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mx my gu mz b na pc nc nd ne pd ng nh ni pe nk nl nm pf no np nq pg ns nt nu gn bk">From an engineering perspective, I really enjoy the projects I get to work on, especially the ownership I have over them and the access to experienced team members. Being involved in the planning stages and having a say as the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) made it feel like my project, not just something I was monitoring. I particularly enjoy the development phase and it is great taking things from start to finish — from design to product.</p><p id="f7fa" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mx my gu mz b na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu gn bk">Even in product conversations, I still have a say, which I appreciate. Technically, the system we work on is very complex and interesting, providing a fun coding environment with lots of experienced people. There are complex problems to solve, and the product itself is exciting to work on. As a developer, you can dive as deep into technical or design aspects as you’d like.</p><h2 id="3787" class="oj ok gu bf ol om on dy oo op oq ea or ni os ot ou nm ov ow ox nq oy oz pa pb bk"><strong class="al">Why did you choose to work at Plotly? What made us stand out?</strong></h2><p id="9dd9" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mx my gu mz b na pc nc nd ne pd ng nh ni pe nk nl nm pf no np nq pg ns nt nu gn bk">My background is in data analytics, and I used Plotly’s Python libraries years ago while doing my Master’s. What stood out to me when I was looking for a new job is that the data analytics space can often be dominated by an old-school finance perspective, where innovation and newer tech aren’t a focus. That was the case at my previous company, where they focused solely on the finance side.</p><p id="1771" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mx my gu mz b na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu gn bk">When I researched Plotly, I saw all the community work and how other companies were using Plotly in diverse ways. Data analytics, like statistics, can be a very dry topic if it’s not allowed to be used in innovative ways and here we have a cool community doing so. The ‘<a class="af ph" href="https://community.plotly.com/tag/figure-friday" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Figure Friday</a>’ initiative is a great example of that — it’s a vibrant and exciting data analytics space.</p><h2 id="65e3" class="oj ok gu bf ol om on dy oo op oq ea or ni os ot ou nm ov ow ox nq oy oz pa pb bk"><strong class="al">What three words describe your Plotly experience?</strong></h2><p id="9add" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mx my gu mz b na pc nc nd ne pd ng nh ni pe nk nl nm pf no np nq pg ns nt nu gn bk">Supportive, Challenging, & Rewarding</p><h2 id="989d" class="oj ok gu bf ol om on dy oo op oq ea or ni os ot ou nm ov ow ox nq oy oz pa pb bk"><strong class="al">In a few sentences, what do you do at Plotly?</strong></h2><p id="e7c5" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mx my gu mz b na pc nc nd ne pd ng nh ni pe nk nl nm pf no np nq pg ns nt nu gn bk">I’m an engineer on the applications team, working on Dash Enterprise (DE).

It’s important because other projects will be built on top of it. It was exciting to build a product that will be so widely used and useful.

He was one of the best teachers I’ve ever had and made the topics he taught very engaging. If you didn’t do well on your assignments, he was always understanding and would take the time to go over them with you. He shaped how I’d like to be in the future — capable but personable.</p><h2 id="4ffd" class="oj ok gu bf ol om on dy oo op oq ea or ni os ot ou nm ov ow ox nq oy oz pa pb bk"><strong class="al">Have you read, watched, or listened to anything recently that has really impacted you?</strong></h2><p id="c132" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mx my gu mz b na pc nc nd ne pd ng nh ni pe nk nl nm pf no np nq pg ns nt nu gn bk">Actually, our own Greg Wilson, the Engineering Manager in Libraries, recommended a book to me called <em class="pi">An Immense World</em>. It explores the different experiences animals go through — like how insects have to deal with the surface tension of water, something we don’t even think about. I started reading it a few weeks ago, and it offers a fascinating perspective on the world. Another book I’m reading is <em class="pi">An Irish Atlantic Rainforest</em> which touches on topics like rewilding, the Pacific Northwest, and how Ireland could be covered in temperate rainforests. There’s a lot of interesting discussion about climate change and rewilding, where the idea is that most of the time, we just need to let nature do its thing and nurture the return of biodiversity.</p><h2 id="6093" class="oj ok gu bf ol om on dy oo op oq ea or ni os ot ou nm ov ow ox nq oy oz pa pb bk"><strong class="al">Do you have a secret talent, or (superpower) you want people to know about?</strong></h2><p id="435b" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mx my gu mz b na pc nc nd ne pd ng nh ni pe nk nl nm pf no np nq pg ns nt nu gn bk">I’m really fast at building LEGO sets, though I’m not particularly innovative or imaginative with them. I’ve done a few, including an old Jeep Wrangler set, which I completed in about two hours — and it wasn’t small! I didn’t realize I had this talent, especially with the flower sets my fiancee received as a gift.

I’m curious about how we progress with it and feel that, with our community, smaller offerings and more tailored experiences could benefit both myself as a developer and Plotly.
