My early experience was in companies that hire their developers for their own projects, and this was my first time in a company working as an outsourcing developer. Initially, I was afraid of what kind of customers we were going to work for, how I would handle the work schedule, and many other concerns I had from my previous positions.

Once I started working at Parrolabs, I got directly involved with the customer. As a senior developer it was a big upgrade to go into the action immediately; all the administrative tasks of being new in a company were already solved.

When you work for a company that allows you to handle your own schedule, it is quite challenging as you need to be very disciplined, however, this pushes you to have better habits.

The project I am currently working on is for a company in California. The people there are very humane and kind, and they are culturally aware. They are sensitive to the fact that I have good English speaking skills, however I am not native, and they do not mind repeating or making their requirements more specific when we have meetings, that are typically on a daily basis.

I am very grateful to work for the customers we have at Parrolabs, as I have a purpose here and day by day I feel useful and allowed to do the job at my own pace. I am also given the opportunity to provide value and results to our customers, and have been able to learn new things, even with technology I have been using for more than 10 years. Working for this company has been a great experience and never fails to stop surprising me.
