Software Engineer

Hi Ryan!

One of the biggest decisions I made was to stay curious, work hard, and remain open to learning, even while juggling part-time work and studies. Balancing these responsibilities helped me understand how technology impacts the real world and gave me valuable hands-on experience.My passion for technology and eagerness to explore new ideas prepared me for the dynamic challenges I now tackle at Nokia. My advice is to embrace opportunities to work on collaborative, impactful projects and to continuously learn - those experiences will set you up for success.

Best of luck with your aspirations for 2025!
