Stories from my Life as a Technologist
It’s a bit mind boggling to me that I’m talking about my sixth year at GitLab. It’s not quite been half (5 months), but as I’m internally transferring out of Support, I thought this was a good place to break up “the year”.
First time readers may want to check out my previous reflection posts. Continue reading “Reflection: The first half of my sixth year at GitLab: helping other (Support Engineers) and leaving Support”
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).

Since the internship is quite different from my regular work, I thought it best to do a blog post on it and reflect on the experience. Continue reading “Internship for Learning: TeamOps (Chief of Staff Team to CEO)”
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.
