Introducing Team Member of the Month: Simon Grigorian

How being challenged helps him to feel driven

I enjoy being challenged, and challenging myself. I like being uncomfortable and there are a lot of goals and teams that push me to be in a place that makes me feel driven.

What does your ideal Saturday look like?

I start off waking up super late — I do some exercises, then I take a bath. I make sure the bath is filled with lots of eucalyptus salt and soap. I light up the bathroom with incenses and candles, then proceed to go eat like Grogu (baby yoda)! I make a delicious brunch. After this is all done, I head toward my computer to either be creative and work on my video game project, or be lazy and play some video games. I end the day with a nice dinner then I sit on the couch and watch a nice movie while eating sushi or drinking wine; I use to be a whiskey guy, but I switched to wine because I’m elegant nowadays.

What’s one of your favorite or proudest DISQO moments?

When I first joined DISQO I dockerized Survey Junkie and started the CI/CD pipelines to automate our legacy application’s deployment and integration process. I noticed efficiency arise immediately, and it makes me proud until this day.

What was the last TV show you binge watched?

What’s something most people don’t know about your role?

I sometimes cry myself to sleep depending on the issue that came about that day at work, JUST KIDDING. As a Software Engineer we’re tasked with several complex issues daily. I always smile when I see all the fantastic emojis from my team after resolving them!

Here are some of my favorite emojis:
