How does Danielle even Welcome to my README! I've heard that my passion can be a bit intimidating if you don't know me, so I wrote this README in hopes to help you understand how best to work with me. I care deeply about the work I do and the people on my team and I want to help you be your best self and do your best work. TLDR I believe in doing the right thing. I believe in collaborative teams without bullies. I love to ship things quickly and iteratively. I love to learn and to teach. I value context. I will help you become the best person you can be if you let me. I value the safety of the marginalized over the hurt feelings of the privileged. I'm an introvert. I recommend reading Radical Candor to understand my feelings on feedback and watching Fresh Off the Boat (seasons 1-4) to understand my motivations for running a team and Lara Hogan's Resilient Management to understand my communication style. Check out my thoughts on goals and how to run effective 1:1s.
