Meet our team. Helena Petridou. He checks through his e-mails and YT messages before joining his team for their daily meeting. Sounds familiar? Osijek is a lively university city in eastern Croatia, close to Serbia. During the college year a lot of young people live here and so many cultural events are held. Croatia is a very popular tourist destination, especially during June, July, August the Osijek Summer Nights when many open-air events are organized the most important being the Tambura Music Festival.
In my free time, I try to spend as much time as possible somewhere outside. I especially enjoy riding my bike, but also drinking long coffees with friends : I try to travel as much as possible, discovering new places and different cultures. In the past few years, I have been playing the guitar as a hobby.
I was there I think for almost 6 years. It was a great experience for me and I learned a lot, but at one point I realized I had reached as far as I could go there. It was a marketing company and there was no more room for improvement for me as a programmer. In the end, I decided to quit. After contacting Dario he posted that in the Facebook group I decided to apply, and here I am :. My initial interview was with Laura, followed by a tech interview with Juan. My training began with Denise. Then, I was helped by Waqas when I moved on to Toolset support.
In a short while, I joined the Toolset Dev team. As I mentioned earlier, I already had good knowledge in several fields even before joining the OTGS, but to work on Toolset I had to improve my skills in some fields. The Toolset codebase is huge; it took me some time to learn how everything works.
Also, my JavaScript knowledge was very basic, and a big part of the Layouts code is actually JavaScript, so I was essentially forced to learn it. My biggest challenge was to become independent and self-confident in my work, but I have a great mentor thanks Riccardo so I believe today I am much more confident than I was at the beginning.
