How did you end up at Medisol?

At my previous job, the tasks were becoming old and repetitive. So, I took to the internet and started looking for a new challenge. Through my LinkedIn connection with Edwin, I found a vacancy at Medisol and decided to apply. After a very nice interview, I had a good impression of the company and was happy to take the job when the position was offered.

What is your role at Medisol?

My role is Software Developer, but we all do far more than write codes all day! Maintaining and improving the web shops are my main responsibility. When needed, we all help each other out to keep the pressure low and quality high.

What does an average day at Medisol look like for you?

The day starts with a cup of coffee and setting up my laptop. Followed with the checking of my email and chat messages. Every morning, we have a stand-up where we each discuss what we have done, what we will be doing and what problems we are facing. Some days are filled with morning meetings and other days are filled by working on tickets, day-to-day issues and helping colleagues. To ensure and improve the quality of our work, we also spend time reviewing and testing each other’s code. With all this, there is never dull moment!

What drives you? Why do you do this job?

To always find a way to improve a product or service we have build for Medisol. To love software development is to love solving puzzles. Each challenge presented to us is a puzzle we must solve. Finding new ways to do this keeps us focused, up-to-date and broadens our knowledge of software development and work processes within Medisol. Successfully completing these tasks that bring improvements within the company and knowing we did, that is just a great feeling. I will go home at the end of the day knowing more than when the day started is why I love doing it all.
