Target: Team Profile

Summary:
Bob, I agree with your assessment, you had a good first year with Target. You have been critical part of first count POC in tandem with SWLM. You explored and contributed using new technical stack including Ratpack, Cassandra and STORM. Being the new hire on the team, you brought in new ideas and forced meaningful conversation to rethink our processes. CI/CD is key to building an application that delivers incremental values, you helped SWML team to move towards this goal. As a lead developer on the team, you mentored new Engineers on the team. You worked very closely with Jack and SWLM team to build a production ready POC, the initial results look promising and builds a good baseline for our feature development. You have displayed good design and architectural skills with new Audit App. You have been able to breakdown the monolithic application into smaller

The team around you, respects your technical and Software development prowess. I would like to see you taking up more leadership role within the team, guiding them through modernization initiative. As you work with rest of the team, keeping an open mind and taking extra effort to include everyone on team in development process would help you achieve your goals this year.
Strengths
Be Bold – This is one of your stronger behavior points. You are not afraid to challenge the status quo and question the way things are done. You look beyond just the immediate usecase at hand and try to solve problem for the bigger scope. During the Count MVP design phase, you have worked well with business and process owners to understand the requirements and also pushed them to think differently about the usecase. From the technology standpoint too, you are always ready to try out new technologies to build new products. This strongly showed up during Count POC while working with SWLM team.
