Bio
Genghis Philip
Weston is a technologist who genuinely cares about craft and quality. He engages code not just at the level of Input -> Output, but at the level of maintainability and consistency. His insight into best practices and patterns, as well as a focus on the right level of complexity at the right time (as in, don't overbuild) helped establish a new product offering at Nexben on an audacious schedule. As a member of our quality practice and a representative on our platform engineering team, Weston helped enable faster, more consistent development by his peers, often taking on extremely fickle errors that were dogging people on other teams. "Developer experience" is a little bit of a buzzword, but Weston's ability to work on making life better for SDETs, Engineers, and management sets him apart as walking that walk instead merely talking about it. As a direct report, Weston is hungry for real, honest feedback and will earnestly work to improve. He is also candid with feedback and, once trust has been established, a lot of fun to manage and challenge. One on ones with Weston are always productive for both parties, providing the fuel that keeps work interesting and satisfying for both him and his manager.
