Although my presence here at XYZ has only been just shy of half a year, I feel like my leadership characteristics offer much more than my time here can display. So far, I have excelled in multiple aspects of leadership. The first being with values, where my contributions to the development of the XYZ program has been met with positive feedback from both my fellow team members and program’s leadership. I have kept an open-mind on continuous improvement and have responded respectfully to constructive criticism from team members. With leadership performance being a huge contributing factor in the choices I make, I have been able to deliver high-quality results while making on-the-go decisions for problems that arise …show more content…
In this short period, I have demonstrated excellent competency and knowledge to not only excel in my role as a software engineer, but also as a systems administrator. I am able to communicate well amongst my peers and team which leads to a better overall performance as displayed in the multiple tasks I’ve worked on. As a software engineer, my task to develop a tool that works alongside Understand, the code analysis program, has just about finished and will be deployed to multiple users within the program. I worked on the tool within a team and we were able to plan, design, and implement a fully interactive GUI analysis tool. I took the objectives and separate them into different tasks and from there the team would divide and conquer those tasks. At first, the program started off as a basic command line tool but as time and understanding passed by, I was able to develop our tool to have its own GUI which would be much more useful to the end-user. We would work side-by-side in the development of the program such that it would be extremely modular and allow end-users to modify the data output. This tool exceeded the expectations of the customer (management) and is already in the testing phase to be witnessed and approved all before the end of our estimated timeline …show more content…
Not only was I able to work on my main goal of developing an analysis tool, but also take charge of the migration of the ABC private wireless network. Just by working on these two goals, I have learned and developed in-depth skills that will surely help out in the future. With those skills, they can also move me forward to become a better leader with a wider perspective looking at tasks from multiple points of view. It has increased my performance and how I respond to different issues by myself and within a team. With the goal of planning, designing, and implementing a tool that works alongside of Understand that analyzes existing code and then displaying the results just about completed, I am confident in my ability to continue working on any future goals. With the goal of leading the development and migration of the ABC private wireless network that I volunteered for, I know that I am able to not only program front-end tools but also work on the back-end infrastructure that holds everything together. This has exposed me to be able to communicate with two different groups within the same program which has proven beneficial. I was able to create software dependency requirements and then relay those over to the systems administrator team who are able to get all the dependencies installed without any deployment
