About me

I was born and raised in West Bend, Wisconsin, U.S.A..
I value transparent and honest communication. I believe that the best ideas are a result of the discussion.
I enjoy most outdoors things (e.g. hiking, running, rock climbing, surfing).


Workstyle

I believe that my success is defined as the success of my team and that the leader is to serve the team to achieve their goals.
I believe that 1:1s are the time for my team members to share concerns, and ideas and help solve blockers as most issues can be dealt with asynchronously.
I want to be transparent with my work and priorities, I aim to regularly update #g_srm_security_policies_standup channel to share with you my progress.
I believe in bias towards action

I use Security Risk Management: Security Policies Group Priorities to plan next milestones.


Work patterns

I believe in and embrace non-linear workday routine:
I wake up around 7:00 AM and start my workday by checking To Do's and messages to plan my day.
To maximize daylight hours I spend time outside often during the day, working in the morning and evening.

Communicating with me

I prefer asynchronous communication, it helps me prepare better answers and plan my workday.

Slack:

You can send me a message on Slack at any time and I will respond during my working hours.
To be transparent with my team members I prefer keeping the conversation in our group channel (#g_srm_security_policies).
I may send you a message on Slack outside your working hours, however, I do not expect you to respond immediately.


GitLab:

To make sure I will see your message, please mention me (@aturinske) as it will automatically create a To-Do item for me.
When your message is related to our teamwork, consider mentioning our group handles (@gitlab-org/security-risk-management/security-policies/backend or @gitlab-org/security-risk-management/security-policies/frontend).


Meetings:

I treat meeting attendance optional.
I am preparing the agenda for the meeting at least 24 hours before the meeting and I expect the same from attendees, this helps me collaborate before the meeting starts and better prepare for the meeting.
I enjoy informal coffee chats, feel free to schedule one so we can meet and understand each other better.


Feedback

Please send feedback to me in private and mark it as such. It will be most effective if you are clear and direct. I appreciate all feedback and see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. If you want to share feedback with me anonymously you can use this form to do it.
I aim to provide my feedback to you regularly in private during 1:1s

I aim to celebrate your achievements in public. Let me know if this is uncomfortable for you.
Remember that you are not your work, I want to give you feedback to help you grow and I'd love to hear "radical candor" from you as well.
