Penny Allen, quality lead for Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) inspired me with her keynote at PNSQC as she described six key traits of a technologist.

  • Curiosity beyond “what does it do?”
  • Inventive problem solver
  • Self-driven learner
  • Coherent communicator
  • Open-minded but practical
  • Adept at finding the signal in the noise
