You are a Cambian who went through our Young Professional Program. What was your experience of the YPP?
I started the YP program straight from graduating from the university and I thought that the program was a great transition from school to working life. The program gave a good introduction to Cambio as a company and to Cambio’s products - how they work and how they are used, an overall perspective that has been very valuable when working after the program. It was also very nice to have a group of people to share the experience with and that has given me a very broad network within the company today. We also got to visit our office in Sri Lanka, which was very nice!
Can you tell us about what you do today and your journey here at Cambio since the program?
I started out working as a full-stack developer for about three years after the trainee program, first with our Medication module and later with our Care Documentation module, before I switched to the Product Owner role. As Product Owner my main task is to maintain a backlog and prioritize what my development team should do to maximize our value towards our customers and make day-to-day decisions to get us there. To do this, I need to have a deep knowledge about my product as well as a good understanding of the customer needs and their business domain. I think that this role is a fun combination of keeping close to the technology parts of the product but at the same being closer to the customers and working with the long-term strategy of the product.
How would you describe what it’s like to work here at Cambio?
I really enjoy working in IT for the Healthcare sector and it feels very good to work with a product that provides something good for society. It is a very exciting sector with a very exciting future. Something that I also value a lot is the gender ratio within Cambio, where the ratio is more equal, which I think contributes to a better company culture.
What is your favorite hobby?
Really though question! I can’t just pick one! In my spare time I enjoy doing some powerlifting in the gym, watching Premier league football and looking for fashion inspiration on Instagram.
