Why this finalist deserves to win Best Tech Manager:
Our nomination for best tech manager is Huiqi Zhou. Huiqi is still relatively new to working in technology; she started her career as a teacher, but eventually found her passion and made the switch to software development after attending a coding bootcamp. Despite less experience than others, she has made an immediate, major impact at our company. Huiqi has flourished since joining and has recently been elevated to the role of architect where she makes critical technical decisions on our software development projects.
Huiqi is an amazing tech manager not just for her natural engineering brilliance, but also because of her role in mentorship here at Insiten. She leads our learning committee where she recruits other team members to dive deep into specific subjects and present to the team during lunch and learn sessions. She also does ‘on the spot’ mentoring everyday during the course of our project work. She has both a short and long-term approach to furthering the team’s knowledge and helping everyone achieve their very best.
Huiqi is absolutely critical to our company, being one of the “go to” technical resources as well as a friendly and encouraging voice. We can’t thank her enough for her tireless effort and ongoing passion for engineer excellence and mentorship.
