"How did I manage to convince my Fitbit that I had a rigorous workout in the middle of the workday? It was not a treadmill desk, though I do have one of those at home. Also, not a trick. I did not put my Fitbit onto my cat and make her run around the apartment. It was actually quite a serious answer. It was a clash with a co-worker that made my heart rate go up to 140"
"I'm a theoretical mathematician by study. I'm a self-taught software engineer who was lifted up by many people around me. I'm a manager and a team lead for about seven years now. I still very much like to code. Before that, I've also been a tutor and a teacher at my university. I've been an improv actor and a mentor for quite a few years on stage."
A clash with a co-worker raised heart rate to 140 beats per minute for over 30 minutes, triggering a Fitbit workout notification and demonstrating how a single interaction can significantly affect individual physiology and workplace culture. Interpersonal directions can produce positive or negative impacts on colleagues and on organizational culture. Professional experience spans theoretical mathematics, self-taught software engineering, management, and seven years of team leadership, alongside tutoring, university teaching, improv acting, theater technical work, freelancing, and corporate employment. Work contexts have included companies of about 35 employees up to corporations of 1,000, and settings that are in-office, hybrid, and fully remote. Experiences shape people beyond job titles.
