Our devs all have their own ways of working - some rely on the terminal for everything, others love a good sticky note. We asked them about their favourite tools, productivity hacks, and things they wish they’d known earlier. Here’s what they had to say! 👇

Staying healthy is a big deal for most of us, and it’s no different at Upscope. That’s why we give our team a flexible health & wellness allowance to spend on whatever helps them feel their best - whether that’s a gym membership, a meditation app, or de-stressing with a massage 🧖‍♀💫 So, we asked a few of our teammates how they use their budget and what wellness means to them. Here’s what they had to say!

Say hello to Rachel, our finance mastermind (or manager, if you will), problem solver, and all-around fixer! From north to south, engineering to finance, juggling travel, work and family - Rachel’s life is just as fun and dynamic as she is! Whether she’s keeping our finances in order or bringing calm to the chaos, she’s a vital part of our team. Read along as Rachel tells us about her journey, what it’s like working with our team, and how she manages everything from spreadsheets to family life.

We’ve sat down with Matthew, our Sales Executive to chat about all things sales, Miami and alpacas (confused? Read on!). Matthew moved from Phoenix, Arizona to Miami last year to start his role with us here at Upscope, and it’s been a pleasure having him with us!

Katherine joined us last year as one of the two first hires in our Miami office. Her positive and bubbly personality brings great energy both within the team and our customers, making a great impact to both! She recently became a proud dog mum of a cutie named Linda that she rescued, and we can’t get enough of all the puppy snaps, wishing we also had one (or more) doggos in our London HQ… Anyway, grab your coffee (or tea or any other beverage of choice) and let’s get to know Katherine better!

Klaudia is the newest addition to our Soho-team. She joined us as a Talent Acquisition Specialist earlier this year, and has been with us for a few months now - enough to learn lots about the business, habits and daily routines (which include a whole lot of coffee).

We recently had a chat with Minh about her career journey so far here at Upscope. She’s pretty much been here from the start, our first employee, holding the fort together and being a part of everything through thick and thin - she’s experienced it all. That’s why we thought she'd be the best person to speak to regarding career growth and development - she came in as a fresh graduate, and now after nearly seven years, she’s recently been promoted to Director of Customer Operations.

We sat down with Pablo, our Lead Software Engineer, to better understand how his day goes around. From getting a glimpse into his morning commute, his 10+ year evolving tech setup which includes Neovim and Emacs, to afternoon slumps, coding and favourite websites.

If you don't know much about Upscope's history, how it began and developed and got to where it is now, this is for you.
