Thomas And The Startup Culture

I worked for 5 startups, as a full-time employee for 2 of them, and a contractor for the other.

During the process, I taught myself to be creative, innovative and entrepreneurial while delivering what is expected from me - the high-quality software.

Some of my significant contributions are:

• helping a gaming startup increase the annual revenue by 8.9%
• helping an AI startup land 2 rounds of venture funding
• helping a drone-tech startup sell their business

I engage in my daily endeavors with passion and share the ambition of the team making an impact on people’s lives. This makes me a self-initiator.

_ People who are passionate can be trained in everything. But we don’t know how to train in attitude. _

I strongly believe in the above quote, and I personally experienced it while working at startups. I work hard, be part of the team, and am willing to take challenges as the founders do.

Fully understanding the startup life, I am ready to jump in and make things right, and very accustomed to wearing many hats whenever needed.

Things that I take seriously while working at startups are:

sticking to and living by the company value getting to know the team culture and being a happy part of it open communication and welcoming constructive criticism The strongest personal trait of mine is self-discipline. It breeds many of my positive work ethics. Everyday is my struggle to build world-class self-discipline. You can try 30 days of discipline too.

I want to see myself join you in your startup journey and make difference. Until then, take care.
