Successful completion of one-year @Airlift — A crazy place to work.
A year back, on the same day, I joined Airlift — One of the leading tech startups as a Software Engineer.
I feel proud to have completed a roller coaster of a year at Airlift. Yes, this is my 366th day as an employee. I feel that it’s time to say THANKS.
I have come across lots of changes in this 1 year. My learning curve has always gone up during these changes. I believe that these changes have made me feel better and even more confident. I truly enjoyed it and learned a lot from all the sleepless nights!
During this period, I worked with an amazing team. A team, who worked tirelessly for days and nights, who eagerly tried to be a better version of themselves and always had your back whenever you needed them. Today we are more friends than co-workers, thanks to Ahmed Ayub and Usman Gul for giving us challenges and for uniting us as a team.
