Things I’ve learn from working at Medvine Limited.

I start working at Medvine Limited in Oct 2017 as python software engineer. I have responsibility on backend side.at Medvine we use backend platform that 100% open source call Odoo and integrate with Magento as a frontend. by using this platform give us a lot of control for operation flow and customer very satisfied on their experience. we start to grow from 0 customer and now we got over 1000 B2B customer.

At Medvine. I can’t describe what culture we have by text. but this article I will write my filling at working environment down. and let you decide what culture we are. I will summery what I’ve learn when first time I join on team until now.

1. Take Control & Take Ownership — as a startup. we face a lot obstacle and try to push through it. every time we face that obstacle we communicate with team about problem. everyone can have idea and present it up in team meeting. or just walking directly to CEO , COO, CTO to present idea. but sometime I thing that idea need to make a quick decision and can help my team go through obstacle. I just decide it and make it happen rather than doing noting.
2. Prioritize is skill, also art — when I bombarded with a lot of task. it cause me stressful and don’t know how to handle it. some task seem like to be urgent but it not that much urgent. in this case I need to communicate with team and understand why their think this task is urgent. some time have long discuss for finding the tipping point. but some task I have need to prioritize with myself which one is more important and decide to do that task for create most impact for everyone.
3. Don’t be afraid to communicate — sometime I don’t know how to solve problem. maybe because I lack of information or can’t decide because it beyond my control(people from another department). I need to communicate with everyone who associated with that problem. some time have conflict but after that I can find final solution for that problem. it help me clear my head. get rid of strain and have more time to focus on positive thing instead of problem.
4. Be honest, be true to yourself — I’m introvert guy. that mean when I have feeling I don’t express it or telling anyone what I felt. but that don’t help me to be happy. I alway avoid the conflict and try to make everyone have compatible agreement. I found out later if I express what I’m thinking, what I felt. and show them the reason why I think or felt like that. It make everyone can understand me and that cause me much happier than before.
5. Willing to fail. embrace that feeling and go forward — when I afraid to fail it cause me to afraid on everything. can’t make decision. can’t look people in their eye. seeking where I comfortable rather than get out of comfort zone. but when I decide enough is enough. I will seeking how to fail. I want to fail. that does’t case me to be a loser in contrary it give me more stronger. I can enjoy doing think without care how another people think. when I fail I embrace it. remember it and try to make it better.this mindset help me to accelerate my growth.

This is things I’ve learn from Medvine Limited. I have a lot of lesson to learn. time and knowledge will help me to growth. to be a great person. positive and happier. I just get exciting by imagine to that day. until next article. keep going forward.
