Technologies nonwithstanding, I am a strong believer in the importance of becoming an expert in the business domain. I have spent most of my career on product companies, doing long-term work on the same project, and gaining deep understanding of the subject matter of each business: Education, High-volumne hiring, Online-returns, and BNPL
