Things I'd love to learn

I am currently keen on learning and getting better at using AI tools to be more productive. I would also like to learn and keep myself updated in the tech stack that is trending. I want to get better in my devops skills and I also want to get better at my German language skills.

I use udemy to acquire new skills, read blogs to keep myself updated and like knowledge sharing calls and demos to understand what new features my colleagues are working on.

I belive giving honest feedback is the kindest thing a team can do to help each other and grow. I tend to ask for feedback quaterly in case I don't them.

The best environment for me is:

time for deep work in the AMspace for deep work in the PM< 2 meetings

I love to code and find delivering features the most satisfying part of my work. Thus, I live to have focus time during the day to keep my head down and work. I enjoy pair programming, brainstorming ideas and planning sprints. Though, I believe 2 meetings per day are enough to get them done.

My workplace setup

Saurabh Lodha's workplace setup

I like to travel often so I try to keep my setup compact. I use a foldable laptop stand, bluetooth mechanical keyboard, and a ergonomical mouse. I use airpods because they are compact. I also prefer to work from co-working spaces than cafes to get reliable internet and a quiet space. It's a good space for networking.

My superpowers

Collaborates effectively with teammatesInvests and is interested in personal and professional growthMaintains clear long term vision that drives decision makingConsistently hits goals and is a high performerWilling to openly have difficult conversations

I  have been working as a full-time freelancer for sometime now and I believe one needs to have some qualities to succeed

  • be a good comunicator
  • deliver quality code consitently
  • brainstorm ideas and provide honest opinions even if they are contradictory

I have been working on the above to be a better programmer. I over communicate with my clients to set expectations and estimate deadlines.
