Arm
Although you may not have heard of Arm, we're everywhere. If you have a smartphone, it almost certainly has Arm technology powering it. We design the technologies that allow machines to think and process information. I work with our amazing engineers, to make sure that they can communicate effectively about what they're doing. It doesn't matter how good the engineers are if no one understands them or their work.
I am passionate about the potential of technology to make our world better. Every day at work, I get to learn about all kinds of ways this is happening, and play my part in driving that. I also find communication really interesting, and get a lot of satisfaction from knowing that we're doing a great job of making complex concepts accessible.
I talk to my engineers about what they're working on, and plan what we're going to need to do to communicate about it. I draw diagrams and write documents, making sure they are accurate and complete. My coworkers are very supportive, interesting, and respectful, which makes Arm a great place to work.
I studied Electronic Engineering with German and French at university, with a year at university in Germany and a year working in France. For ten years, I worked for a small electronics manufacturer. I loved the range of skills that working in a small business let me build up. Eventually, I realised that the communication side of the job was what I found really rewarding, and moved to Arm to concentrate on this full time.
In the future, I'd like to move to a leadership role, shaping how we communicate about technology. I don't see my future as set in stone though, I want to explore where the road leads me.
I love to ride my bike, and really got into Zwift over lockdown. I have three young kids, so fun is pretty much the normal state of things at home. I also love to learn languages. I speak French and German reasonably well from living there, basic Spanish, and I'm currently learning Italian.
