Happy 10th anniversary to the best decision of my career <3

Submitted Dec 28, 2020

Where to begin.

As a final year student back in 2014, I’m super grateful to Zainab and Kiran to taking a chance on me. Like most people’s stories with Hasgeek, it was entirely serendepitous that I met Kiran at PyCon 2014 and asked him for an internship. A 1 month internship turned into a 6 month internship which turned into my job for the next 3 years.

It is - without exagerration - the best decision of my career. Everything that came to me professionally (and some personal) can be traced back to Hasgeek in one way or another.

More than anything else, working with Zainab and Kiran (and the rest of the team really) instilled such a strong sense of ethics with work - and in a lot of ways has spoilt all future work for me :)

Here’s to the next decade 🥂
