Fiona Lapham, Software Engineer
OmbuLabs: Why did you decide to become a developer?
Fiona: I decided to become a developer because it was time for a career change. I used to be a chef, and once I had kids I knew that lifestyle was not going to work anymore. I started thinking about what else I like to do, and I had always been interested in websites and how they work. I took a few online classes in Ruby and was hooked! After that I took a lot more classes, and then got a job at OmbuLabs. Itβs the best job Iβve ever had.
OmbuLabs: What do you like most about OmbuLabs?
Fiona: The team. I enjoy working with and being around everyone at OmbuLabs. Itβs such a fun environment to learn and grow.
OmbuLabs: What is a personal thing you would like to share about you?
Fiona: I have a random talent for spotting four-leaf-clovers, in fact I found one yesterday!
OmbuLabs: What is the most interesting thing you've learned while working for us?
Fiona: I have learned so many things, itβs impossible to say.
OmbuLabs: What do you like to do when you're not working?
Fiona: I love to hike, garden, read fiction, cook elaborate meals, listen to audiobooks while I go jogging, and play with my kids. I love anything to do with nature and being outside. Before the pandemic I loved to travel and go scuba-diving. I also like to play some computer games, growing up Myst was my favorite.
