One of the beauties about working in the Systems team was the experience to diversify my knowledge on not just specific subsystems, but also the management aspect of the project.
It is very satisfying to be able to come up with a creative solution to the technical challenges we have at work and to see the results we create being implemented in real deployable software.
More people with diverse perspectives and ways of thinking through problems, increases the likelihood that different solutions can be discussed, and ultimately increases the likelihood that the team can devise the most appropriate solution.
My role is to develop software for Saab’s naval combat management system which is the command and control center of many advanced surface vessels and submarines.
