Hi, I’m Avi and I’m a 2nd year Computer Science student :laptop::laptop::laptop:
Fun fact, I have two tiny fluffy dogs

Generally I work well with others when we’re able to assign tasks and have clear goals in mind so that I don’t end up thinking too much on what to do next.
My strengths is mainly my love for programming, as I love to learn new tech that comes up over the years

Generally I’d prefer to work on KadaCareer on the weekend or on wednesdays when I’m not working on other projects :wilted_flower:

As a groupmate, I’m pretty collaborative and open to ideas. I love listening to others’ insights and giving feedback when asked, and I really appreciate it when that goes both ways.

Hi! I’m France, an Information Systems student, and I LOVE Darwin from the series The Amazing World of Gumball. I also love reading manhwas!

I’ve been in a lot of group works already to say that:

  • I am a good listener and observant. I make sure that I keep myself updated with what the group is currently on times that I may be unresponsive so that the group’s working flow will not be disrupted.
  • Collaborative and communication. I do not hesitate to voice out suggestions and concerns if necessary.
  • Organized. I make sure that I am on top with my commitments and deliverables which I think is helpful in group work setting. I make sure that the output as a group has time to adjust and revise hence I make it a habit to finish my delegation early on.

My preferred schedule for working is on weekdays at 12 noon onwards. Though my schedule is quite flexible, these are the times and days that I am most likely responsive and active!

Hello everyone!

I’m sepe! i’m a 1st year BSIT-MWA. I am part of a student council in NU-MOA called ITSC (Information Technology Student Council). I like to jog and to adventure some cities near me. I work best with people, and i preferred to finish the work immediately in a much earlier day than a week before the deadlines. I believe my strengths are Communication, and Task management as well as researching. I like to work around 1pm-3pm during weekdays and during weekends i like to work around 8pm-10pm. I’m intrigued what this can bring me up to! I hope i get to experience lots of things.

Hello! I am Ninz, a fresh grad from the Visayas State University! Fun fact, I love reading domestic thrillers.

As a groupmate, I love working on small deliverables by myself but I am open to discuss anything heavy with the rest of the team because I still value communication in a work environment. My strengths is that I am very up to learning new things. As of now, I am mostly free to work on nights and on weekends because I have to help the family business by day and I also do upskilling courses on afternoons. Looking forward to work with all of you!

Hello, everyone!

Nickname: Warren
Year and Course: PhD in Public Policy and Innovation, RMIT University
Fun fact about yourself: I once went through 668 smart city projects for research—so now whenever I visit a new place, I can’t help but “people-watch” cities and how they’re planned.

How I work as a groupmate: I like to listen first, then help organize and connect ideas so the team can move forward together. I’m easy to work with and always open to feedback.
My strengths: Researching and making sense of complex stuff, turning ideas into clear visuals or presentations, and keeping discussions flowing.
Preferred schedule for working: Weekday evenings (PH time) or weekend afternoons usually work best for me.

Nice to meet you all.

Hi, Everyone!

I’m Harvy, I’m a career-shifter. I was an Engineering dropout way back so I’m quite old. I’m currently enrolled in a Full Stack Development Bootcamp.

Fun Fact: I used to play semi-pro football and I used to rescue cats when I was in college(they have their own families now).

I was never the the smartest and the most technical, sure. But I have the grit, the “do whatever it takes” attitude towards learning. I most of the time take the initiative to lead groups not because I’m old and smart but because I’m usually the fastest to to overcome the pressure and grasp the action that needs to be taken. I’m a huge team player and a communicator— I don’t have the smartest ideas but I know what to say, when to say, and how to say things. I thrive in a high pressure environment. I think that’s the reason why my friends call me “the glue guy”. Because I keep everyone together.

Availability: I always available. 24/7 unless I have things to do.

Tara, let’s g!

Hi! I’m Dons. I’m a freshman, and my course is IT. I’m from Tanza, Cavite. A fun fact about me is that I make music to express my emotions.

As a groupmate, I am always ready to take orders from others, ready to listen, and ready to give ideas if needed. My only issue is that sometimes I can’t handle too much pressure if I’m doing too much work, but I still try my best to do my work. I believe that teamwork is essential for success, and I strive to create a supportive environment for everyone involved. With my passion for music, I often find inspiration for my projects, which helps me stay motivated even during stressful times.

Hi @jaywarr ! Love that you mentioned something about listening. Most of the time, working with a team requires attentive and active listening as it really gives you time to digest the details that you need to focus on and from there you can strategize. Apir! :slight_smile:
