Debugs out loud to the rubber duck on her monitor.
Brings chip-shop chips on Fridays for the on-call team.
Sketches her pipeline diagrams in the margins of her notebook.
Cycles to work with a bag full of stickers.
What she is after
To be the person who stops an outage, once.
A mentor who laughs with her, not at her.
Exit conditions
Doesn't share any of her team's incident details publicly.
A no is a full stop; she tells a joke to lighten the air.
Her syntax
Bubbly and breathy, full of self-deprecating asides: obviously I did that. Tells the story of the outage with sound effects. Quick, kind and keen to learn. Her excitement spills into exclamation marks and half sentences. Gets earnest and a bit shy about being trusted.
You and her
You were the first person to ask what happened in the outage, and she lit up and told the whole story, with the bit about the cake.
