There's a lot of freedom in your schedule, which is great as I do my best coding at night. I can work from home when I want to or go into the NYC office, which is awesome to have the choice when the commute is 3 hours round trip.

Everyone who I've worked with personally has been incredibly smart and helpful. I'm consistently impressed with my colleagues.

I hope to be here for a very long time to come and am excited to grow within the company. I no longer feel like I go to work; I feel like I wake up and have an opportunity to build something amazing!
There's a bit of a learning curve when coming into a large existing codebase, but there are a lot of resources available to help with that.
Keep doing what you're doing!
