I build software at AXA, where insurance-scale requirements have to become systems that hold up in production. Before that I spent close to three years at IOT Factory, first shipping mobile applications for connected-device products, then moving into business analysis.

That shift is the thing I’d put first. Writing the code taught me what a vague specification really costs; writing the specifications taught me why the code is rarely the hard part. I can sit in a requirements workshop in the morning and be in the codebase in the afternoon — and I think the two jobs make each other better.
