Pursue your Ikigai - your reason to jump out of bed each morning.

I have a team of highly professional engineers that are very skilled at what they do.

The single best thing though is working with brilliant people and I really value the team and the fantastic culture at Leidos.

Failure isn’t failure if you learn something from it – then it becomes a stepping stone. People don't like to talk about bad times so it's hard to know, but more ‘successful people’ than you may realise bombed at something else before they started succeeding.

It’s important to think strategically about the long-term direction of the business – for example, who should our main customers be? What training do we need to ensure that my team stay relevant?

The most rewarding thing for me as a senior engineer is when the customer is happy. Working with an amazing group of people to produce the best outcomes, build the relations and help the business to grow.

Clarity comes from movement. Take action towards your goals, especially if you’re uncertain because it’s through experiences that you’ll learn more about yourself and what you have to offer.

I love the lightbulb moment that people get when I am explaining something. Whether I am demonstrating our software in its development stages and people say “wow that’s amazing! I can’t wait until it’s finished!” or I am explaining some nuance of the way the military works – just what is an OODALOOP and why is it important to our software?
