Be willing to be in a constant learning process. Technologies are constantly evolving, and perhaps what you know today will be old news in the future. "The only constant thing is change". Be ready to face and accept this.
Sandra Milena Ruiz
Data Analyst | Cali
ERP or Cloud? What’s your take on this?
Clients get good support for ERP technologies, maybe not promptly, but sometimes this is just what they need.
In Cloud technologies, you can quickly escalate problems and get answers, and it also allows companies to be more innovative and take decisions quickly. This also comes with some concerns regarding the confidentiality of data.
So, it depends on what everyone’s looking for.
What is your strong suit?
I'm a highly committed and business goal-oriented professional.
Also, I have experience in enterprise platforms and databases, and for many years I was a database developer.
What technical subjects interest you when it comes to knowledge sharing in Endava?
Right now, I'm very interested in all topics related to cloud computing and data engineering technologies.
What are your passions outside work?
I try to practice a healthy lifestyle and balance my work with activities that allow me to disconnect, relax and energise. I love spending time with my family, reading, and practising hiking, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and exercise. Also, I'm an enthusiast of investments and blockchain technologies, which are very interesting and full of dilemmas, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this technology evolves.
I’ve also been part of some tech communities in Cali, like Pioneras, the community of women in IT.
What are you most proud of in your work?
I worked on a project where together with my team, we had to implement a tech solution that would allocate subventions to people with low income to buy discounted food and products at some shops.
This project somehow made me feel that technology can also help and empower less-fortunate people, and I felt good for being a part of it.
If you could do just one thing to make this world a better place, what would it be?
Although this is a complex question, I’d say make education available for everyone. It is the only way to fight poverty and give equal chances to everyone. For example, my region is not rich, and my family was not wealthy. Still, because I studied a lot, not only Software Engineering but also English and many other subjects empowered me to create a better future for my daughter and to have more possibilities.
Education opens minds, creates opportunities, and helps people navigate more efficiently and healthily in life.
