What do you do in your new position at Roadtrippers?
I work on a team that develops the Roadtrippers iOS app. I spend a majority of my day problem solving and writing code. I’ll also test and debug any problems that are found with the app.
What do you like best about this job?
Definitely the environment. Everyone I work with is laid back and easy to get along with, yet they’re very passionate about their work. This leads to a nice mix of getting work done while having fun at the same time. You sort of feel closer to everyone here. It’s not like a standard workplace where you go to a holiday party out of obligation. Here, you go to a holiday party because you want to hang out with everyone. Also, our office is located in an old brewery in
OTR. The combination of an old brick building being furnished with modern technology is really interesting.
What's great about living/working in Cincinnati?
There are so many reasons I love this city. The amount of history this city has fascinates me. I’m always trying to learn anything I can about Cincinnati. I’m originally from a small, “dead” town in northeast Ohio. There wasn’t much to do there and I grew up thinking that was the norm. I was blown away when I moved to Cincinnati and saw how much there was to do. There are so many locally owned restaurants and shops, and you can always find some form of entertainment. Above all, nothing beats going to Reds and Bengals games. Having actual local sports teams (competitive ones, too) to root for is all a sports fan like me could ask for.
What part of town do you live in, and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live?
I live in the
Pleasant Ridge area. I like it because it’s really close to everything. I can get to Kenwood,
Oakley or
Hyde Park in five minutes, and downtown is only a short 15 minutes away. The people in my neighborhood are friendly, and the old German architecture of all of the houses is amazing to look at. No two houses are the same.
