This piece has been lightly edited for length and clarity.<\/em><\/p><h4 id=\"how-did-your-passion-for-tech-start\" class=\"anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_y2LR\">How did your passion for tech start?<a class=\"hash-link\" title=\"Direct link to heading\" href=\"#how-did-your-passion-for-tech-start\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u200b<\/a><\/h4><p>When I was a kid, computers seemed like these really serious business things. It always tickled my imagination that people would subvert computers to make trivial things like games. That really appealed to me. One of my childhood goals was to create games, and I did eventually work in the gaming industry for a few years; I worked with some truly excellent people and I had a lot of fun but I also came to realise that it&#8217;s a difficult industry to have a long career in.<\/p><h4 id=\"what-attracted-you-to-work-here-at-comet\" class=\"anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_y2LR\">What attracted you to work here at Comet?<a class=\"hash-link\" title=\"Direct link to heading\" href=\"#what-attracted-you-to-work-here-at-comet\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u200b<\/a><\/h4><p>I told the recruiter I was working with that I was looking to find my tribe \u2013 people who were interested in technology and motivated and excited about software engineering.<\/p><p>I have definitely found the right place. I couldn&#8217;t be happier with the kind of people that I&#8217;m working with, not just the software developers, but the whole company exceeded my expectations for working together collaboratively.<\/p><h4 id=\"what-is-your-favorite-thing-about-working-at-comet\" class=\"anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_y2LR\">What is your favorite thing about working at Comet?<a class=\"hash-link\" title=\"Direct link to heading\" href=\"#what-is-your-favorite-thing-about-working-at-comet\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u200b<\/a><\/h4><p>The people are the greatest thing about working at Comet. I genuinely like everybody that I work with. And there&#8217;s nobody here I don&#8217;t feel comfortable talking to and asking a question.<\/p><p>That&#8217;s a big deal because we\u2019re working on a complex product. So having an environment where everybody feels comfortable and free to ask questions is a big deal. Comet is an extremely collegial kind of place to work. Everyone is genuinely interested in helping everybody else out.<\/p><h4 id=\"you-are-one-of-the-full-time-remote-team-members-how-do-you-keep-connected-with-the-team\" class=\"anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_y2LR\">You are one of the full time remote team members, how do you keep connected with the team?<a class=\"hash-link\" title=\"Direct link to heading\" href=\"#you-are-one-of-the-full-time-remote-team-members-how-do-you-keep-connected-with-the-team\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u200b<\/a><\/h4><p>I live in Dunedin, so I\u2019m one of a handful of remote team members at Comet. I knew that being remote full time was going to be a different kind of challenge. But Comet has been really proactive with that right from the outset.<\/p><p>We have events like CometCon, our company-wide conference, where twice a year everyone is flown in for a week to ensure we get some face to face time as an entire team.<\/p><p>The other thing that Comet does, which is really cool, is that we have a virtual coffee break over Slack where we just get together and chat on a video call. All of our team meetings happen over Slack as well, so our normal way of working effectively works for people who work remotely.<\/p><p>Inevitably there&#8217;s always going to be the occasional discussions you miss out on because you&#8217;re not in the office, but there&#8217;s lots of opportunities to catch up with people outside of physically having to be in the office. So it works out pretty well.<\/p><h4 id=\"tell-us-more-about-cometcon-and-what-you-enjoy-about-it\" class=\"anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_y2LR\">Tell us more about CometCon and what you enjoy about it.<a class=\"hash-link\" title=\"Direct link to heading\" href=\"#tell-us-more-about-cometcon-and-what-you-enjoy-about-it\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u200b<\/a><\/h4><p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cometbackup.com\/blog\/2023\/2023-11-30-whats-new\/#cometcon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CometCon<\/a> is a fantastic initiative. They\u2019re awesome and I hugely value them for two reasons:<\/p><p>One, sitting down and getting a chance to hash through issues or hear talks about how things work on the technical side is really valuable. Comet is a big and complex piece of software, so it&#8217;s always great to learn more about how things work and have cross functional training in different areas of the product to disseminate knowledge throughout the team.<\/p><p>But also for me, because I&#8217;m working remotely, that chance to catch up with everybody and just have a bit of fun and focus on those sort of human relationships. I can&#8217;t overstate how much I value that in terms of having time to catch up and chat to people in other departments.<\/p><h4 id=\"what-do-you-think-of-christchurch\" class=\"anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_y2LR\">What do you think of Christchurch?<a class=\"hash-link\" title=\"Direct link to heading\" href=\"#what-do-you-think-of-christchurch\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u200b<\/a><\/h4><p>I\u2019m super enthusiastic about the Riverside Market, it\u2019s a fantastic jewel in the crown for the city. There are a lot of eateries with different options, I\u2019ve made a habit of eating there every time I travel to Christchurch for CometCon. I also love seeing the Southern Alps in the distance on a clear day, it gives you an emotional boost to see the mountains from the office windows.<\/p><h4 id=\"what-keeps-you-passionate-about-moving-forward-in-the-field-and-what-keeps-you-inspired-within-the-industry\" class=\"anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_y2LR\">What keeps you passionate about moving forward in the field and what keeps you inspired within the industry?<a class=\"hash-link\" title=\"Direct link to heading\" href=\"#what-keeps-you-passionate-about-moving-forward-in-the-field-and-what-keeps-you-inspired-within-the-industry\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u200b<\/a><\/h4><p>I really like the fact that I can learn new skills. I really value that. It&#8217;s important for people who want to stay in the industry to keep learning. That&#8217;s been great for me because I&#8217;ve picked up Golang programming, which I didn&#8217;t know at all before working at Comet. I really like coding and making stuff and learning new ways to make stuff, that\u2019s where it gets to be fun. That\u2019s the joy of software engineering.<\/p><h4 id=\"youve-also-had-the-opportunity-to-mentor-one-of-the-junior-developers-what-has-that-experience-entailed\" class=\"anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_y2LR\">You\u2019ve also had the opportunity to mentor one of the junior developers, what has that experience entailed?<a class=\"hash-link\" title=\"Direct link to heading\" href=\"#youve-also-had-the-opportunity-to-mentor-one-of-the-junior-developers-what-has-that-experience-entailed\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u200b<\/a><\/h4><p>During my interview process, we discussed various ways I could contribute to the team and the idea of mentorship came up. I absolutely love working with people and talking about code, so mentoring a junior dev is an awesome fit for me.<\/p><p>Each person approaches problem solving differently. It\u2019s cool to see what someone else comes up with. I love the whole process of imparting knowledge and discussing various ways to solve a problem.<\/p><p>When Rhane (Junior Developer) came on board last year, I was paired up to mentor her. At Comet we have a pathway for junior developers to join our Support Team. They work on dev tickets between support tickets. With guidance from other team members, they graduate into a full developer after a year. It\u2019s been a fantastic initiative.<\/p><h4 id=\"what-are-some-of-your-other-hobbies\" class=\"anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_y2LR\">What are some of your other hobbies?<a class=\"hash-link\" title=\"Direct link to heading\" href=\"#what-are-some-of-your-other-hobbies\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u200b<\/a><\/h4><p>I&#8217;m very much a family man. I&#8217;ve got a bunch of kids. We are currently doing tons of work in our garden. Because I&#8217;m working at home, I&#8217;m quite careful about making sure that I take breaks. So it&#8217;s really nice to have a space in my backyard to wander around my garden and see what&#8217;s growing and how it changes over the years. It has become quite a nice little zen environment to spend some time sitting in the sun, listening to birds.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2004c86 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"2004c86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"page\" data-elementor-id=\"18103\" class=\"elementor elementor-18103\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-748947f elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"748947f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;c4f773e&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7995c19\" data-id=\"7995c19\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a437045 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"a437045\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">About Version 2 Digital<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Version 2 Digital is one of the most dynamic IT companies in Asia.
