What is your standard?

Hello, dear fellow technology enthusiasts,

Today, I am very excited to share a topic that is very important to me. As someone who has worked through the many levels of a tech career, from hands-on coding to strategic roles like a CTO, I have learned the critical importance of setting personal standards in our professional lives.

This video explores what being more than just a software engineer or developer means. It's about being a leader in our field—how we can inspire, lead, and help our teams grow. Whether you are just starting out, working with React, or managing complex projects, it is crucial to understand and establish your own professional baseline.

I invite you to join me as I share some of the most important lessons I have learned. I hope these insights will resonate with you and encourage you to think about your own practices, perhaps even redefining what success looks like in your professional journey.

Thank you for visiting, and let's continue to push the boundaries of what we can achieve together in this dynamic technology world.

Best,
Adrian
