Written by People & Culture | Jul 23, 2024 10:24:57 AM

Hi, my name is Morris. I’m a Principal Engineer at quantilope and have been with the company for 3 years. Before quantilope, I was consulting various clients across different industries on software engineering and architecture for many years.

 


    • 💻 What are your responsibilities as a Principal Engineer?
      I’m responsible for the technical excellence of quantilope’s platform. I provide technical and strategic guidance to the wider product organization, but I’m very much a hands-on builder as well.

    • 🤓What does your day-to-day look like?
      Building and improving our products every day, together with our cross-functional teams. I get to code often, but I also spend a lot of time thinking, reading, and writing to empower others.

    • 🔍What’s been your favorite project so far?
      Relaunching our survey engine with significantly improved performance and better participant experience. “It’s just forms” is a massive understatement…

    • 😍 What are you passionate about at work?
      Solving real user problems with software, and green ticks in our software delivery pipelines.

    • 🚀What advice would you give to someone looking to get into engineering?
      Always keep your mind with the user, avoid dogmatic approaches, and embrace repetition and practice - from fixing simple bugs to building larger solutions.

    • 👍Why quantilope?
      Because quantilopers are “my people”: Open-minded, fun, and willing to go the extra mile for each other.
