Rihard's user manual

Rihards (he/him)

How I get my best work done:

• I like to take some time to brainstorm 🌪 and plan 📏 🧮 the process. However, I also like to experiment during the process, try different ideas and see which one gives the best outcome.

• I believe that prototyping is very important part of project planning.

• I strongly believe that project teams have to clearly define vision of their project.

• I don`t like to leave something until the last moment and rush the process at the end to meet deadline.

• I cannot stop until the work is completed.
  

Work after 6pm is very important to me because this is the time when I learn the most. (I am trying hard to change it)

The role I usually take in a team:

• Since childhood I always like to be a leader within any group.

• Nevertheless, I often step back if I see that someone else would like to take the role. I believe that productive work relationships are more important than competition for a certain role within a team.

So far in FAC:

• In my second week I was Project(Scrum) Facilitator. It was great experience and would like to take the role again!
• Fourth week was the most successful so far. I was responsible for DESIGN and User XP. I learned a lot from the role. The biggest discovery was that design starts with crazy 8s and finishes when the rest of things in the project have been done.

My communication style:

• I can be shy and sometimes I need a time to open up for people.

• I like to discuss the work while I am doing it with other teammates but there are moments when I fully immerse into work and my mouth just shuts down and I cannot say a word.

I just need to be reminded to come back to the real world from time to time 😉 .

What I value:

-Bad code instead of No code.

• Moments when promises are replaced with responsible actions. 🤗

• Flexibility

What people misunderstand about me:

• I often keep emotions inside me in-front of a new person. People find difficult to approach me for that reason. Once I know the person I open up. Nothing personal it's just my personality 😊

• I am not trying to break rules I like to experiment.

How I like to get my feedback:

• Sharp and straight forward. I prefer to hear the truth if I have made a mistake.

Technical strengths & weaknesses:

• I am still learning basics. I will tell you more in few weeks! 😉
• I find TDD difficult to implement. Please help me with that!
• I am not perfect but I easily write, read and understand DOM related js code.

Interests (programming or otherwise!):

MY NUMBER 2 after coding : DRIFT, or DRIFT AGAIN

I like to read about history and development of tech industry.
It is interesting to read stories about personalities who have pushed the industry forward.
I like to watch and play basketball with friends if I have a free time.

Rihards's enthusiasm and positive attitude are second to none. He always tries to build confidence in the people around him and likes to bring a smile to your face. He's a consistent and very hard worker, but should sleep more to make sure that his brain can consolidate all the knowledge he's cramming in. 😝

Rihards is exactly what you want in a project: competence and kindness, optimism and energy. He's a consistent and dedicated problem solver, unflinchingly enthusiastic, a team cheerleader, and a really bloody good programmer. He's great to work with. Work with Rihards!
