And after working hours I really want to focus on my family, play with kids, spend time with my wife, and do some home stuff as a husband, right? Olga Wow, developers are also husbands sometimes. I need to set some boundaries, where for some part of the day I'm really focused on work and nothing can distract me. Because for me, the most important part of my life is my family, so I don't want them to feel that I'm only focused on my work.

What challenges do global software teams have to face? Olga What are the main challenges for you personally? Adrian For me, it's to have a really good work balance. Because otherwise after some time, people can be in a place where they will be just tired of working with really odd hours, etc. You need to be really flexible to prepare all of that to make everybody happy. Simple, right? :) It was really hard at the beginning because you had to get used to it and you had to figure out a kind of plan how you will be working with them to make that work comfortable for everybody. Olga And how do you deal with all of them? Adrian I just learned it. You need to be prepared for that when you deal with global development. And it's really difficult to manage this work with that many different time zones. Also India, Germany, and people from Europe. Like, obviously the US, no matter what side of the US - East Coast, West Coast. Working across borders and time zones Olga And you cooperate with people from different countries and time zones? Adrian Yeah, I work in distributed software development environments. And after four years, I didn't have any lessons, it was just talking about the project. I was very stressed, my language was terrible. And trust me, it was like cold days for me. On the first dailies I was prepared - I wrote my dailies on the paper, every sentence that I wanted to say. When I started, I remember that the last time I was using language was in my studies and I forgot almost everything. I learned English basically while working on this particular project.
Olga Is that the reason for your American accent? Adrian Maybe. Olga It is an American company, right? Adrian It is. I'm working with people from different countries, from different time zones. This is a company that is proud to make the largest in the world B2B market - chemical marketplace.
Example of global software development project Olga And what about your project? Adrian I'm working in Knowde. Olga And you will quickly become outdated. Because if you stop, you are taking steps back instead of being at the same level. I don't want to say anything bad about being a graphic designer, but working as a developer is forcing me to learn new stuff every day. Olga Since you became a front end developer? Adrian Yeah. Olga So you are not bored anymore? Adrian No, no. And you know, I was bored after these two years, so I thought that maybe it will be something great to learn new stuff. And I smoothly changed into the front end because my colleagues needed to work on some simple stuff like HTML, CSS, etc. Adrian And I was preparing web layouts for two years, these kinds of things. Olga Or eight years? Adrian Yeah, it might be, but I started my career as a graphic designer. I'm frontend engineer working in Liki from the very beginning.
