Cropin: A Perfect Fit
Cropin ticked all the boxes! The open-minded team and the chance to explore new areas were a big draw. Cropin also gave opportunities to build a product from scratch. The leadership team's trust in my ability to innovate was motivating. Plus, Cropin's mission to maximize per-acre value resonated with me.
Leveled Up at Cropin
Cropin has been a growth machine. I started with iOS, then expanded to Flutter and backend languages (Spring Boot & Java). This variety made me a sharper problem-solver with a broader skill set.
Beyond tech, I stepped into leadership roles, managing teams and projects. Mentoring junior developers and fostering teamwork were highlights. We focused on rapid problem-solving for customers, deploying hotfixes to minimize disruptions – a fast-paced challenge!
Accomplishments
Building a Flutter app from scratch with a young team was an unforgettable experience! We experimented with new tech and fostered innovation. Diverse projects in Microservices, Java, SpringBoot, and Cloud skyrocketed my technical expertise and confidence. This also taught me valuable lessons in managing complex projects.
Beyond everything, I'm passionate about solving our mother earth's everyday problems. Whether it's farmer struggles, climate change, deforestation, or diminishing crop yields, knowing that my daily work positively impacts these pressing challenges motivates and inspires me to advance each day. I love Agtech and Cropin for this very fundamental reason. It's not just me—my family also takes pride in what I do at work. This is the most satisfying reward for me.
