This is Klaida!
Klaida joined the Communardo Products team in April 2021 as a Marketing Manager.
She is actually from Albania and therefore also worked at our site in Tirana at the beginning. But this year she decided to start over in Germany together with her family. The colleagues in Dresden are of course more than happy to welcome her into their midst.
In her role as a Product Marketing Manager, she excels in the art of shaping, executing, and delicately weaving campaigns across our diverse channels, thus creating a symphony of successful marketing. And she does all of this with absolute warmth, making her someone you simply must like!
At this year's offsite, Klaida took the time to answer a few spontaneous questions about herself and her work at Communardo in front of the camera. Take a look and get to know Klaida!
This is Lorenzo!
Lorenzo became part of the Communardo team in March 2022 and as a Service Desk Agent he is skillfully handling customer inquiries.
He can't sit still for long and finds balance to his everyday working life in sports. Anyone who is in the office from time to time will notice that Lorenzo often uses his lunch break to go outside for a run :)
Lorenzo is a true beacon of positivity within his team. With his open-minded nature and creative ideas, he not only brings a breath of fresh air to the team, but also makes customers happy when processing their requests.
At our offsite, we also asked Lorenzo a few spontaneous questions. In the video, you'll get to know Lorenzo and learn what he values about his team and Communardo.
This is Jona!
Jona has made a remarkable return to our team, and we couldn't be more excited to have her back! After venturing into new territories and gaining valuable experience elsewhere, she has returned to us in 2023, ready to make an impact once again.
Previously, Jona was a valued Software Developer at Communardo Products from 2019 to 2021, and her return feels like a homecoming. She brings with her a wealth of new skills and insights that she’s eager to share with the team. Not only is Jona a genuinely kind and supportive colleague, but her meticulous attention to detail and reliability shine through in every project she tackles. Working alongside her is a true pleasure; her expertise enhances our collaborative dynamic, making our team even stronger.
My journey with Communardo had been an excellent one during my first employment (March 2019-January 2021). To answer the question, I need to first add a couple of sentences on the reasons I left. As previously mentioned, indeed I valued my time at Communardo, in terms of personal development, team culture, the work we did and the contribution to the company products (Atlassian apps). On the other hand, being in my early to mid-twenties, I felt like I could learn more, be involved in newer technologies that would help me grow personally as a developer. My goal has always been to learn and grow, climb further in my career. At that moment, I decided to pursue another path, working as a Mobile Application Developer, focusing on a tech-stack that included Android, Kotlin, React Native and Node.js. I became part of a start up team - that was challenging and exciting at the same time.
After more than two years and finishing the complete development cycle for the mobile app, I decided that it was time to look for an opportunity that would be more long term, working for products that are currently stable in the market. Thinking in that direction, Communardo was my first choice. In the meantime, I had been still collaborating with Communardo, working as a Coach for the Developer Trainee Program in team Tirana (being Coach for both, the first and second round of the program).
What has changed for me is that I came back working at a Professional level of career, having the chance of bringing in my previous experience, both in terms of technical expertise and teamwork processes. I am still being involved with the trainee program as a coach and started working in team Mars (previously worked in Venus), which I really enjoyed as it gave me the chance to know more colleagues and exchange experiences with them.
Coming back to Communardo, I realized that the Communardo Products teams were working solid, being self-organized teams and handling their work independently, but also in sync with the other teams in terms of general processes and management. Another change was having a development coach, helping you and guiding you in your career path at Communardo. The company management structure has also changed, the most exciting news being ‘Bitvoodoo becomes part of Communardo Group’.
The final question is easy to answer. As I had been collaborating with Communardo and kept in touch with the colleagues, I really felt like I never left. The on-boarding process was smooth and I was able to re-integrate as a developer within my first week back.
During this time back at Communardo, I participated in the ISAQB training for 'Software Architecture – Foundation level' and received the certification upon taking the qualifying exam. My goals include work and grow in such direction, becoming a Software Architect.
