Internship for Learning: OKRs with Chief of Staff (Team) to CEO

Since I finished the first one, I have been doing a second internship for learning with the Chief of Staff Team to CEO. If you would like to know what an internship for learning is, and why I chose to do one, take a look at the reflection post from my first internship for learning (just internship for short from here on out).

Even though I haven’t technically finished, since I’m done the majority of the work, I thought it was the right time to do a reflection. Continue reading “Internship for Learning: OKRs with Chief of Staff (Team) to CEO”

Reflection: The last third of my fifth year at GitLab and expanding Staff Support Engineer

Reflection: Acting Chief of Staff to CTO at GitLab

For our company’s fourth quarter (Q4, November 2022 to January 2023), I was the Acting Chief of Staff to CTO. In February, I’m getting back into my regular role as a Staff Support Engineer, while also spending a little bit of time transitioning anything left and ensuring any “loose threads” are tied up. Since there’s quite a bit to write about, and the role is so different from my regular role, I thought it deserved its own post. Continue reading “Reflection: Acting Chief of Staff to CTO at GitLab”
